(actually, its for my sister-in-law) but i digress...

Panasonic PV-GS65
3CCD MiniDV Camcorder
1.2MP

$387ar

For $387 I doubt it. Be sure to check the reseller ratings though, a lot of camera companies are notorious for offering items for cheap but excluding necessary accessories. If I had the money to spare this would be my first choice.

Pretty good on resellerratings:

If you just want to shoot home-movies that camera would probably be fine. Double-check that it comes with all the accessories you need. 3ccd cameras usually aren't that cheap :shrug:

Don't think so. That camcorder is VERY highly rated.

I ordered my D70 from them back in Feb and they were fantastic.

Retail Box, all accessories, and they are an authorized reseller.

Im not worried at all about the product from them.

I'm in the market for my first camera. I'm thinking I'll go with the Panasonic PV-GS150.

Panasonic PV-GS65 for $372 AR (but shipping costs more)

Reseller ratings are very good

i recently purchased the GS250 and am exceedingly happy with it.

i've read good things about the gs65 also.
