I own the Panasonic PV-Gs19. This is a sweet little camera for $300.
Manual shutter speed settings to 1/6000. 24x zoom. Lots of settings.
I bought a SIIG PCMIA firewire 1394 card with Ulead video editing software for $50 (for my laptop). The combo works great.
I also use the V1 home addition (free download).
I believe the problem is with Quicktime. I open the AVI recordings in Ulead , V1 or Windows Media Player and they are perfect. Not so in Quicktime (blurry at 600x800 not sure why).
Is anybody else familiar with the Panasonic GS-19? Is it possible to copy to VHS tape? Any comments greatly appreciated, sky72
The panasonic Gs-19 uses mini dv tape. You can tape this over to vhs tape by using the video/sound output port connected to a the record inputs on your vhs tape player and all you do is play the minid dv tape on the pansonic and record mode for you vhs machine..
