Disappointing "Upgrade"

"I originally wanted to purchases 5 more Panasonic PV-GS180 Cameras for the Film classes I teach. I was told that camera was discontinued and that this was the upgraded camera. So I placed the order. However, This is more of a downgrade even though it is $100 or so more than the previous model. #1 problem-no mic input. Why do you have a cold shoe mount if you cant plug anything up???? #2 problem Inputs. The DV an..." Read Full Review »

"I’ve bought it to try to do some car shootouts. It’s great in specs, but not so great in a real life use. If you’ll try do make some home video its great, nice color range, good auto focus, optic image stabilizer works perfect, microphone zoom – great idea, good battery time – even on standard inclu …"  Read Full Review »

"The PV-GS320 has a great image quality for the price - you won't find anything better at this price.
