the camera. The size of the camera is great
as well as the battery life. The biggest problem, and an important one at
that, is that we found this camera to have a dark picture- picture was a
bit grainy and pixely and especially poor performance in low lighting.
Battery life & size were not good enough to sacrifice sharp picture
quality and bright picture & colors.

Impossible to download videos, December 4, 2005
Reviewer: pardesi_babu
I have tried everything. Firewire, USB. There was an insert in the guide
that mentioned that you have to connect the cable first to your PC then to
your camera, then turn on the PC then turn on the camera...then wait for
the stars to align in the right order. If you do anything in a different
order then your camera can get damaged. What kind of a crazy world does
Panasonic live in?
Well, I followed the instructions to the tee, downloded the right drivers
and all and yet my PC does not recognize the GS19 or the GS9. I have used
both. The GS19 is a new purchase so this is definitely going back. I
thought, this model would have gone away with the kinks but, NO!
So, my panasonic recorded DVs are gonna remain on the tape. I will never
be able to put them on DVDs. What a joke, this camera turned out to be.

Excellent Camcorder, November 26, 2005
Reviewer: S. Broderick "MikeyO"
This is an excellent camcorder, it small, easy to carry around, and has
good battery life. It even fits into a inexpensive carying case we had our
for digital camera. It has a lot of great features and served us well on
our vacation. Its been said before, but the only real drawback to this is
the instructions. To Claridy: The camcorder can transfer still pics from
its SD slot via a USB cable, you will need firewire to transfer it to the
computer or use as a webcam - both which work very well. It also has all
the necessary cables you will need if you just want to hook it up to your
VHS/Home DVD burner via A/V cables and record, or just watch the playback
on a TV. It could use an external audio mic output, but we found the
internal microphone is quite sensitive and met our needs very well.
Overall: Definately recomended

Great Camera!!!, October 23, 2005
Reviewer: Julie Miller "Julie Miller, A person who annoys everyone by
taking tons of photos"
This is a great camcorder. I've read that people have problems with
uploading video to the computer, but I have not tried to do that yet. We
purchased the camera to film everyday things (holidays, the dog, etc.) and
it works much better than I expected. The zoom feature is great--I can't
believe how crisp the film is for things that are so far away. I've even
used the camera in place of binoculars on our travels because you can see
everything on the screen so clearly. We also play back video in the car on
our way home from travels and enjoy watching it on the mini screen and
listening to the audio. The most unexpected benefit of the camera is how
easy it is to take pictures from film. We watch what we filmed on TV and
just hit the picture button to snap digital photos after the fact. It is
fantastic! I really like having the digital camera and camcorder in one;
it's one less thing to carry. Again, I can't speak to the computer upload
of film, but not everyone wants to do that either. The only drawback to
the camera is that it doesn't have a light or flash. However, we haven't
found that we really needed it yet, and we have filmed a lot inside and
out. I am so happy with the camcorder!!

Gonna return ours, July 10, 2005
Reviewer: Todd R. Trubey
One of the most disastrous purchases we've ever made. It works fine until
you try to get the video images onto your computer. Don't bother trying to
consult the instruction guide; it's the worst one you've ever seen. You
could go to the website to attempt to download all the drivers that you
supposedly need, but they're not actually on the website.
DEFINITELY find another brand.
