The PV-GS70 is a ultra-compact 3-CCD Digital Video camcorder that 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. A built-in PhotoShot digital still camera feature allows consumers to enjoy two ways to capture their memories in a single, compact package: digital video and digital still photos. With more PC-friendly features than ever, such as MPEG4 Movie recording, which lets you record moving images that can be used on the internet or as e-mail attachments. Minimize

If this camera suits your budget, there is no reason to look elsewhere, to buy anything better would cost 50% more. It's not inexpensive, but it is great value. Read More
