The Panasonic NV-GS500 features a 6.8cm LCD screen, 91 x 73 x 153mm and weighs 570 grams, has a Leica Decomar lens that offers up to 12x optical zoom, a 16: 9 flip LCD screen which can be brightened for outdoor viewing and a Quickstart button. A variet...
  • If you’re a Leica virgin, touching the Panasonic’s 12x Leica lens for the very first time is quite a buzz. It’s optically stabilised for rock-solid zooming, with a manual focus ring and wide maximum aperture to keep movies pin-sharp indo...
  • It’s easy to see why MiniDV is dying off - the GS500 is heavy and bulky, its battery lasts little more than an hour and standard definition doesn’t really cut it in today’s high-def world. Tinkering with the Panasonic’s dozens of m...
  • In camcorder years, this two-year-old Panasonic is due to collect its pension. MiniDV footage looks great for what it is and the lovely Leica optics will never go out of style, but this price can get you HD these days.Panasonic NV-GS500 is tagged with...

Panasonic’s MiniDV, standard-definition camcorder is the most traditional looking of the bunch and appears to be designed mainly for point-and-shoot videography. There are few controls on the case and much of the camera’s extended functionalit...

The Panasonic NV-GS500EB-S is an extremely good camcorder that offers a host of controls, shoots extremely realistic video and is very flexible. There may be much cheaper camcorders available, but this offers a lot of features. The NV-GS500 is solid...
  • The Panasonic NV-GS500EB-S is a great pick for serious shooters who want the benefit of automatic control and the flexibility of manual control. It takes great-looking video and stills and is very well priced, considering the range of features. Richar...

There is no doubt the Panasonic NV-GS500 is a nice camcorder, priced at an acceptable level and will make a lot of people happy. However, I dont think its a genuine replacement for the GS400 model and certainly not an upgrade. It takes great images b...
  • Image quality and true 16:9 mode with additional pixels; manual focus ring, joystick control; bottom loading of tape cassette.
  • Small LCD display in 4:3 mode; clumsy balance and position of hand strap; software and USB capture using third-party software.

A few years ago, Panasonic's NV-GS400 quietly took the lead as the sub-£1,000 camcorder of choice for video makers with professional aspirations. Sony was busy taking features off its premium consumer models to make them easier to use, but this also made...
  • After the revelation which was the NV-GS400, the NV-GS500 is a bit of a disappointment. Those who are looking for a great semi-pro camcorder would be better off picking up the older model second hand, even if the NV-GS500 has better image quality. Neverth...
