Digital Stills and MPEG4 Video

It has a high speed shutter when taking photos and can even take progressive phots which can be saved onto the MiniDV tape or to the included 8 MB SD memory card. You can also record MPEG4 video, which uses a higher compression setting and is great for posting to a Web site or e-mailing to friends and family.

Still images and MPEG4 video are stored on the included 8 MB Secure Digital (SD) memory card, and can be transferred to your PC via USB connectivity (compatible with both USB 1.1 and 2.0).

Panasonic PVGS50A Ultra-Compact MiniDV Digital Palmcorder (Blue) Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

Great teeny little thing!

This is my first foray into mini-dv,and I picked a winner.I researched every minidv camcorder on the market,and settled on this one because most of the user reviews were positive,and because I have used Panasonic products in the past,with no problems.
The camcorder is very easy to use.The manual explains everything clearly.I shot some video of my puppies and had them going out to family and friends over the internet in a matter of minutes.
Another thing I liked...you can choose the color of the camcorder.Certainly not important technically,but asthetically,it's way cool!!
All in all..I am completely satisfied with this little camcorder and recommend it w/o reservation.
One more thing: This really isn't a still camera,so using it for that purpose won't be very satisfying..I think if it is used on the spur of the moment to capture an unforgettable image,then it works well enough.
