what consumers reviews says about this Panasonic mini dv camcorder

  • "I was comparing, the Panasonic GS19 and the GS35 to the PV-GS31 but I wanted a light source on the camera and the color view finder was something I wanted. The GS35 had more features but most of the features like the added zoom I didn't need. The extra features were not a good cost vs. benefit against the GS31, unless that is specifically what you need."

Other Panasonic camcorder models that you might want to compare and review include, PV-GS19, GS31, GS35, GS65, GS150 & GS250.
