Consumer GuideThe PV-GS29 is a compact unit that feels comfortable in an average-size hand, and the unit offers digital image stabilization to remove unwanted camera shakes during handheld shooting. However, don’t expect this to take the place of a tripod, especially when using the zoom. Overall, the PV-GS29 is an excellent digital camcorder value. |

EasyCamcorders.comFor the money, there are Sonys that are easier to use, JVCs that are better in low light, and slicker Canons, although the Canons at this level have horrible low-light performance. |
