Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic PV-GS35 MiniDV Camcorder w/30x Optical ZoomCustomer Review: I should have stuck with my VHS-C Summary: 2 Stars
I this camcorder on October 27, 2005 from Circuit City. I asked the salesperson if he could hook power up to the display so I could see how it looks, but he said he was unable to do this. If I had been able to see this camcorder working in the store - I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY MONEY ON IT.
I have a VHS-C camcorder and was hoping to be upgrading to Digital. I opened it up yesterday and tested it out. Outdoors the quality was OK, but definately not better than my VHS-C camcorder. Indoors with lights on and with and without the onboard light the quality is that of a webcam or a VHS copy of a copy - the quality is not at all what I expected. Because I videotape mainly indoors, this camera is worthless to me. I expected a good quality digital recording something at least equivalent to my VHS-C, if not better.
Because I live about 80 miles away from the nearest Circuit City, I called the store first to find out how to return the camcorder. I was informed that if I did not exchange it for something for more money that I would be paying 15% restocking fee.
I am so, so disappointed that Circuit City sold me a piece of garbage for $442 (it was on sale plus I had a $40 coupon). I am upset that I was not able to see the camcorder first and then when I called the store I was told to refer to the back of my receipt for the 15% restock information.
I have shopped at Circuit City before and have not had a problem - maybe only because I have not had to return anything. I will not do business with Circuit CIty again as this is totally unreasonable. They are selling a high-priced, low-quality camcorder that you will not allow customers to see powered on at the store and then when they get it home to find out how terrible the quality is they are penalized by restocking fees as well.
