Panasonic PV-DV601 Digital Camcorder

Product Description

This unit is the Goldilocks of camcorders. Not too big, not too small, not too simple yet not too complicated, not low end yet not upper end either. It's just Right! A middle of the road digital camcorder that includes the 3 B's. (No, Not 3 Bears) But, number One Beautiful Picture, number Two Bountiful Features, and number Three Bargain of a price. And only the optional fluid head tripod can complete this storybook tale and give you the user a truly happy ending.Implemented in the DV601, MagicVu/IR Filter (0 Lux) allows you to record video in near total darkness (images recorded in black and white, blue or green). Movie Messenger allows you to easily transfer your motion or still image files with audio from your digital Palmcorder camcorder to your PC and then attaches the file to an email via the USB cable or the IEEE 1394 interface. And best of all, the Movie Messenger software application attaches itself to the file, so the recipient has everything they need to open it. Analog-In lets you save all of your memories recorded in analog format by allowing you to archive them on to digital Mini DV tape. Built-in Color Enhancement Light Included for low light shooting conditions. DUAL Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (Record and Playback) helps to stabilize your recordings during recording or playback. Digital Effects (Record and Playback) lets you add exciting special effects to make your videos come to life. 5-Mode Program AE (Auto Exposure) lets you prepare your camcorder to shoot in almost any recording condition. PCM Stereo (12-bit/16-bit) allows you to add new audio while maintaining existing audio. Index Search (with included IR remote control) lets you access each program with a simple touch of the remote control. Book Mark Search probes the blank portion of your tape (in VCR mode) and finds the end of your last recording and Manual Focus Ring lets you adjust the focus level, a feature that is very useful for experienced video enthusiasts.

Great Product.......2003-04-18

Great product must buy, I have a query does any one know which external flash should i use.

xp compatibility.......2002-04-02

I love every feature of this camcorder with the exception of the fact I have Windows XP as my operating system and can't find drivers for it. Does anyone know of any driver updates from Panasonic?

FANTASTIC --------Great Value.......2002-01-05

I love this camcorder. The 20x zoom is unheard of. I got it for Christmas and I absolutely love it. For the money it is hard to beat. Although it is not perfect, it is close. THIS IS THE SAME CAMCORDER AS THE SONY DCR-TRV17. Only it is... cheaper. You will not be disappointed. The picture quality is great. It only weighs 1.5 pounds and with the 3" LCD that is a must for me. Enjoy

Defective tape transport.......2001-09-22

I'll agree with all the positive statements in other reviews--the one day it worked, we were pleased. However when we tried to use the camera the following day, we found the tape transport was not working--the tapes we recorded wouldn't play, and a new tape also wouldn't. It seemed to feed the tape but not take it up.
The difficulty in obtaining service, having to mail it off to Elgin, is a problem...

They really need to improve support for an apparent design problem, and service availability is a big negative.

Best bang for the buck!.......2001-08-29

I have been using this camcorder for the last three months overall am impressed with the features and performance. Most of the websites do not have exact picture- including this one (it has in-built light and 3" LCD screen) Plus points =========== * Very rich set of features (AE functions like low light perform well - great for indoor) * Good collection of external interfaces (Firewire - cable not provided, USB, AV jack, external microphone, serial out?) * Web-quality Digital photo in smart card * Slide in EVF makes it compact * Simple but feature filled IR remote * Reasonably responsive lens * pressure sensitive zoom operated with two fingers reduces strain * Ergonomic feel * Reasonable clear audio pickup without noticeable distortion * Simple software and fast digital image upload using USB Negatives ========= * To turn on light, menu navigation is required, which is not possible while recording - a switch should be provided * Video clip download using USB is painfully slow (should be happy that the option is available as most of the competitors do not have this ;-)) * Lens cover does not accomodate well with filters * Digital photo shoot takes about 7-10 seconds for processing (not sure how others perform) Suggestions =========== * Get an extra 3hr battery as the standard one lasts less than an hour (even less with LCD and constant Zoom usage - typical of such camcorders) Recommendation

Inside Noise.......2004-07-02

I received this camcorder for Christmas. I have always had a noise coming from the inside of the camcorder. In the beginning the noise wasn't that noticeable. But over time the noise had gotten louder. I used the recommended cleaning tapes, but didn't seem to work. According to the manual, there's the possibility of the video head being worn. The repair will cost to much to fix. I have a friend with the same camcorder, and hers is broke also. The only difference between the two, is mine will still record, but the noise is louder, and hers won't record at all. There are a lot better choices than this camcorder.

Cool Cam.......1999-12-03

This camera is so fun, not to mention affordable! It is light, durable (Ive even dropped it a few times) and totally easy to use. I take it everywhere. Be sure to get extra batteries though because they wear out before you know it.

The illuminated keypad makes dialing easy, even in the dark, while the handset and ringer controls let you adjust volume levels to your liking.

Selectable tone and pulse dialing modes are available via a switch on the phone, and the flash button allows you access to call waiting (requires a subscription to a fee-based service). A redial button lets you quickly call the last outgoing number, while a mute button allows you to hear the other party while muting your end of the conversation. The ITB1 is also hearing aid compatible and comes with a one-year limited warranty.
