I purchased this pv-gs320 for my sons wedding gift and video tapped his wedding. The results were amazing. The wedding was outdoors and the recepition indoors and even the indoor video was very good. I used Windows Movie maker to edit and results were fantastic. The audio was good enough to get even the wedding vows. Everyone was amazed at the video quality. Do not hesitate to buy this camcorder for at around $300 dollars you can't go wrong.

I will have to use the camera some more and go get the cables that will help the camera work with my TV and my computer. Hopefully, with knowledge and experience, my opinion will change for the better

I bought this camcorder to replace our old 8mm analog camcorder. It is very small and light. Its lens is made by the legendary Leica, one key factor in my choosing it over several other camcorders in its price range. Its user-interface is intuitive. Overall its features seem to be well designed. To my surprise for some reason it does not accept my Kingston Elite-Pro 2GB SD card (it flashes "card error" message whenever I attempt to use or format that card), but seems to work fine with my cheaper Kingston 2GB SD card (I prefer using the Elite-Pro for its higher write speed). Panasonic only certifies and lists their own SD cards for use with the camcorder, so if you want to shop for a 3rd-party SD card make sure that you can exchange or return it just in case.

Strengths:	Amazing Optical Image Stabilization, video colors both indoor and outdoor, and many manual mode features which are not present on most camcorder in this price range. 3.1MP still mode an extra add-on.
Weaknesses:	The lack of a mic jack, headphone jack, flash, video light, LCD panel controls, hot shoe, and control ring

Overall it is a decent camcorder. It campares well against Sony's HC-96 which is more pricier. This is a good camera for an intermediate shooter with much more advanced features but still not quite professional grade.

I bought this camera for $149.99 before tax. It is a good value for this camera. It is compact and light to bring around to record events. What can you expect for this price. Even with all the shortcomings, for the price, you can't beat it.
