The sleek Panasonic PV-GS39 comes in a low-profile design that looks rather out of sorts but is actually extremely comfortable to hold. The joystick located on the mode dial puts it within easy rach of your thumb, making this model a success when it comes to intuitiveness and handling. The PV-GS39 offers a generous 2.7" widescreen LCD and is able to record video in 16:9 aspect ratio. Other features include a 30x optical zoom and great daylight recording quality. This sturdily built digital camcorder is great value for money at $290.
