Panasonic PV-DV1000 digital video camcorder offers precise image quality and color accuracy. The superior quality of digital video resulting from higher horizontal resolution yielding sharper picture detail and component color sampling preserves more color information than analog. PV-DV1000 delivers 12/16-bit audio, 16-bit mode offers one set of stereo tracks and achieves the same quality as CD, while the 12-bit mode creates two sets of stereo tracks, audio dub is possible when recorded in this mode. Digital electronic image stabilization compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize your recordings. Convenient color viewfinder can be turned to 80 degrees up and 40 degrees down for added shooting flexibility. PV-DV1000 features a variety of playback modes, including Top Scan for fast search through the tape.

Pros: Great camera for the money.
Cons: EIS detracts from quality of picture.
The DV100 and I became acquainted just a few months ago, with the purpose of creating short skits for my church. I've used it for two complete skits thus far, and also for my own personal amusement. As the bottom end of the Panasonic Digital line, it is a great product. It handles the basics very well, and also has some intriguing features. I thoroughly enjoy playing with the mirror mode, as well as it's ability to take a series of snapshots. The picture is incredible, as with most digital camcorders. The only issue I have with the camera, is with it's EIS (Electronic Image Stabilizer). When activated, it darkens the picture significantly, creating unwanted shadows and other annoyances in what was originally a great shot. This might not be a major factor for a lot of people, but I find that with the current prices of digital camcorders, I would rather spend a bit more and get rid of the EIS problem, as well as get more features.
