Great Starter Video Camera, January 8, 2006
Reviewer: William Pearson
I really wanted a 3CCD model, but since I'm just starting out and need to
buy other stuff, like a tripod, monopod, media, firewire adapter card,
camera bag, etc. This fits the budget nicely and it is compact enough to
carry it anywhere. Yes the USB connection does work, yes FireWire does
work, although it took me a minute to figure out that a connection problem
was the fault of the video software version I was using, not the fault of
the camera.

It does work with your PC!, December 27, 2005
Reviewer: D. Heffentrager
My son bought this camera on his own this past summer to take videos of
his friends skateboarding, etc. His desire was to get video editing
software to add sound effects, music, titles, etc. The camera works great
and does what is advertised. Always keep in perspective that a $300
something camera will not match up with the features and extras that a
$1000 something camera offers.
The real reason for my posting this message relates to how to connect this
camera to your PC to download videos. This is how it will work.
1. Ignore the USB connection stuff in the manual. Good for still picture
transfer and webcam stuff only. Look at page 43 in the manual: "PC
Connection With DV Interfac Cable". You must use this method to transfer
video.
2. You need a "firewire" IEEE 1394 OHCI compliant card in your computer. I
purchased and added a PCI Trendnet TFU-H33PI to my 5 year old HP XL773
computer that I also recently loaded Windows XP.
3. Here is the KEY. I bought a cheap SanMAX 4pin to 6pin 1394 cable. Could
not get the camera to be recognized by the computer OS. With XP it should
recognize the camera as soon as you connect it and turn it on with the
camera set to playback mode. XP will treat it like new hardware the first
time. I tried everything to reload the card software and search online for
drivers and through forums for answers. Then I remembered that my neighbor
does video editing. I took my sons camera over to his house and his
computer recognized the PV-GS19 Panasonic camera right away. I then
plugged my SanMAX cheap cable into his computer... NOTHING. IT WAS THE
CABLE. I borrowed his Belkin shielded $25+ cable and plugged it into my
computer and it WORKED.
Moral of the story. Don't skimp on the firewire cable. They are not all
created equal.
