Panasonic PV-DV53 Review

By

Summary

Compact and versatile, the PV-DV53 Digital PalmCorder from Panasonic offers features that produce high quality videos and stills. This camcorder is designed for those who want point-and-shoot simplicity without limiting their ability to take command when they want to. It offers several shooting options, digital effects, and quick and easy connection to a computer. The progressive PhotoShot? mode eliminates fuzziness by digitally capturing the image data of a singular moment, and temporarily storing it in two field memories. The two images are then combined to produce a better quality picture. Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. When used in playback mode, this feature helps reduce jitter in previously recorded videos.
