The 1.3 mega pixel still photo capability out performed more modern cameras with much higher resolutions. Theft forced a change. Unfortunately the thief also took my footage of Asimo's visit to the London Science museum. Tip for camera owners - don't leave your tapes inside your machines. Request to thieves - take the camera by all means but please eject the tapes first.
  • Panasonic NV GS120
An OK camera, the mpeg-4 facility is handy, no manual focus and no analogue input, and the 1.7 mega pixel still camera is a disappointment. The flash is badly located too. Still, you can unload your cassette whilst attached to a tripod.
  • Sony DCR-IP220 MICROMV
Great camera with lots of whizzy gadgets, good usability, and ultra tiny cassettes. The one problem being no regular Digital Video output.
  • Panasonic NV GS200
Upgrade to the GS120. All the same functions but more mega pixels (2.3 but the images are still no better!). Adds a manual focus ring plus analogue input. The flash is still badly mounted and rendered useless once a lens is attached. The mpeg-4 recording facility is quite handy and it manages with DV in/out.
