I have a VERY nice Panasonic PV-GS150.

Its a nice DV camera with 3CCD's.  The 3 CCD's each capture a different color, producing a much better color re-production.  Most consumer cameras do NOT have this feature.

I love this camera to death, but I have a few complaints about it.

1.The still pictures are very odd looking.  There is 'noise' around every edge (and some gradients) for seemingly no reason.  The pictures are 2 MP, and are about 900k each, so its not the compression causing the noise.

2. In low light, the picture becomes a little noisy.  Also, there is no way to use an exposure gain when you are shooting in the 'night' modes.  This means that low light pictures (even with the 'video lamp' enabled turn into slideshows.

However, 1MP images look decent, and video is outstanding (in daylight and moderately bright in-door situations).



Now, what cameras do you all have?

My parents have the same model of camera already, so I've seen what it can do and I'm rather pleased with the results. Given that Kodak, like Hewlett-Packard, is an industry leader, I find it difficult to believe that either of them put out bad products as that's not the way corporations establish and maintain market dominance.

I have a Sony Mini Dv something that works really good.  I used to have a kodak (it sucked but it was cheap model) and it always screwed up the computer with the software which was confusing to use.
