"Great camcorder for the family"
Pros: easy to use; great video quality; WORKS WITH MY VISTA MACHINE!
Cons: None, except the mic and light issue.
Summary: I've owned my PV-GS320 for about 3 week. I've tested it on a night time road trip to see how it handled very low light and focus issues. I was very pleased. It picked up the reflection in the eys of some deer that I didn't even see when I was driving. I'v shot outside and inside, and the color is great. Audio could be a little louder, but that may just be how I have it set up right now.
We just finished our Thanksgiving day and capture much of it on this camera. We all set down and watched it on the TV and all the kids and grandkids were impressed.
I'm shopping for a light at this time. I'm glad it doesn't have a light, most of them just drain the battery and fall short of what you need.
I did purchase 2 extra batteries (long lasting ones). They weren't that much and a good case.
I down loaded a short clip of my daughter singing on my Vista computer with HP's own software and it worked great. I have purchased a Vista supported editing software, but that's because I'm looking into doing more with my videos than just storing them on miniDV tapes.
I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for quality and not ready to take the HD plung at this time. I'm not sold on the hard drive systems yet, and find this PV-GS320 to be just right for this man who likes to get the best he can afford. I don't think you will be disappointed at all.
