Panasonic PV-L559 Palmcorder Camcorder

Product Description

Looking for a state-of-the-art palmcorder? Stop right here. Full VHS compatibility. Not only does it comes with a VHS PlayPak (so you can play the tape in your VHS VCR), but it offers a crisp, clear first-generation picture for your enjoyment. Its telescopic lens gives you the ability to produce extraordinarily clear close-ups of your subject matter, along with superior clarity to those provided by digital zoom. Plus, with four different zoom speeds, you are able to go from a wide angle shot to a full telephoto in 2-16 seconds. The PV-L559 uses DEIS to compensate for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize recordings, even if you're recording in a moving vehicle or a crowded room. It features MotionSensor, which is perfect for simple home security applications as it starts camcorder recording when motion is detected. Color Digital Fade lets you select from 7 fade variations with your choice of 8 colors for flexibility in transition from one scene to the next.

Amazon.com Review

The Panasonic PV-L559 offers a powerful zoom and a versatile LCD screen in a compact, affordable package. It's a great choice for those who want advanced features but also need the flexibility of the VHS-C format.

In our tests, the video from the Panasonic PV-L559 was clear and colorful, although due to the nature of the VHS-C format, it wasn't as bright or sharp as Hi8 or digital video. VHS-C has a major advantage when it comes to playback--it uses normal VHS tape, so you can play it in any VCR (using the included adapter).

The Panasonic PV-L559 offers a 150x digital zoom and advanced recording features, such as image stabilization. It includes a fade feature for transitioning between scenes, with seven different effects in eight different colors. It comes with a light for shooting in dim conditions--you can set the light to remain on, off, or to switch on automatically when needed. The three-inch, color LCD screen swivels a full 180 degrees, so you can record from different angles or include yourself in the video. You can adjust the brightness of the screen as well. The Panasonic PV-L559 offers programmed recording, which gives you a window of 24 hours to set a start time and recording length before recording begins. This camcorder also has a security mode, which triggers recording when it senses motion.

Pros:

Powerful zoom
Motion sensor
LCD screen lets you record from multiple angles
Automatic light useful for dim conditions

Cons:

No special image effects (other than fade)

Super Boy Video Camera.......2006-11-08

My dad owned a video camera kind of like this but the thing that you put your eye to wasn't circular. But everything else was cool. Anyways, my dad gave me the video camera because it was about 13 years old and he had bought a new VHS-C video camera. He used to have a video camera that you watch the videos on DVD but then got the other one I was mentioning because one time when we were in Hawaii eating at a restaurant, we got ripped off by some guys but we didn't know. When we went back in the car so we can drive to our destination, we first didn't know that we were missing anything until we got to our destination. My dad was the one who found out we got ripped off from gangsta boys. We didn't do anything but just let it go. I am going back to talking about the video camera my dad gave me. One thing I like about this video camera is that when your done and finished with the whole tape, you don't have to finalize it like you have to do for the video camera that you watch your videos on DVD. That is one thing my dad hated about the DVD video camera. The only thing he liked about it was that it was so clear on the screen. Anyways, when it was summer 2006 after school ended, I took this video camera with me to take to my granparent's house to video tape myself playing baseball. I used a pro training stick which was the bat and batted plastic balls. I caught myself on video lots of times hitting home runs. Pretty good playa boy. How the way i'll catch myself on video hitting home runs is that i'll put this video camera on something outside like the bench or something else. For pitching, I'll put the video camera on our slide at our grandparent's house to tape my grandfather and I. I caught myself throwing lots of fast strikes. Thanks Panasonic and dad!

BEST of it's class!.......1999-12-21

I researched camcorders for 4 weeks straight before deciding upon this Panasonic. It has all the features (LCD screen, built in light, best optical zoom-focus available 26x, 150x digital zoom, remote, digital fades, titling, image stabalization...the list goes on! ) of other quality camcorders, only at half the cost! We absolutely LOVE this camera! My only concern was that is was VHS-C, as opposed to 8mm...BUT that is definately not a concern anymore. The picture quality of this Panasonic VHS-C is outstanding, and has great sound too! Another awesome feature is you don't have to hook up your camera to your tv or vcr everytime you want to watch what you taped (like the 8mm camcorders...ugh!)....this Panasonic comes with the VHS-C adapter tape cartridge the you just insert into your VCR like a regular VHS tape. All you do is push PLAY! If you've been looking for a quality camera but don't want to fork over tons of money....this is definatlely your BEST bet!

A camcorder easy enough for Grandma.......1999-12-08

Very good camcorder for those looking for less buttons, easy to use and great results. The LCD screen is great for recording yourself and with others, knowing you got the shot you wanted and those tri-pod shots to difficult looking through a view finder. A movement activation option for those who what to see what goes on while their away is rather cool. It works so well in low level light, we haven't used the built-in light source yet. A camcorder you don't have to carry a manual around and with the quality of those you do.

Easy to learn to use and simple to playback.......1999-11-20

Great camera for a first time buyer. It comes with a simple to understand manuel. All the features of the more expensive models at an attractive price. Great value.

Great picture and easy to use........1999-07-15

We have had our camcorder for two weeks now and are amazed at how easy it is to use and the quality of the pictures. We record alot of sporting events and the LCD screen is great--you can watch the game instead of the old styles where you have to look through the view finder. Our son likes to analyze his hitting and throwing after the game by watching on the LCD scree.

Excellent laptop.......2002-11-08

Finally started "researching" on the web. Read very good to great reviews on the Compaq Evo N600c. I had read that the "c" stands for "corporate", and that the Compaq corporate lines were a complete different story from their cheap Presario lines.

Decided to pay a little more for higher quality. I feel now it is worth many times the additional money I paid.

UNBELIEVABLE STABILITY. That is the thing that really surprised me. PLUS:

Great screen (have to work with laptop 10 hours a day, so that's a big plus).

Great keyboard

Really fast.

It just "looks" and feels like great, high quality.

Great battery life. That was an added bonus for me, even though I never really "needed" it - now I can take my laptop to meetings (Compaq says it lasts 4 hours - haven't tested it to the limit yet)

And finally, although it's not as light as they advertise (because they say the "travel weight" is less than 5 lbs, but I always need to bring my DVD-CDRW with me for work), so it was heavier than expected, but still relatively light, and very slim.

A great computer - have never written a review before - but I have never experienced ANYTHING like it, and I felt this computer needed to be applauded.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2006-07-29

This is great for those on a budget who want to spend more on the core components of the pc and don't mind a small 15" monitor. The picture is crisp and clear, flicker is minimal(though it lacks a glare shield, so you may want one for all day viewing) and even though it's 15", it has no trouble displaying crystal clear text at 1024x768. So don't feel you'll be stuck at 800x600 or lower if you opt for this. It's an especially good deal for me because I got it from a computer a family member was getting rid of.

Not so good???.......2005-03-29

I have my COMPAQ FS740 with CPU for 3 years now. I bought it from Best Buy. Best Buy did a shabby software installation job, but it was affordable and I am not knowledgeable in these areas. That being said, I have done a Recovery twice and I now have a problem wherein my pc reboots around 7pm at night. No virus. None. Its a gremlin, I tell you. Now!!! The pc is turning pink. It does it so often that I believe the whole thing might be on its last legs. I would not care as much because of the low prices of pc's and the upgrades available to me at such low prices, but I barely use the darn thing. For this reason alone, I am annoyed at best, and disappointed and disillusioned at most. I have no clue what I should buy next or what scam to watch out for. Just my 2 cents.

Convenience, good image quality, but limited resolution.......2005-03-25

I acquired the MV540 from a friend who decided to get another monitor. So far, he and I have not had come across any safety issues, but since I'm used to resolutions higher than 800x600, and this monitor is not able to have a sufficient 1024x768 at a refresh rate of over 60Hz. The monitor's video quality is crisp and the lack of anti-glare makes the image much sharper than competitors'. The speakers sound fine and the power supply is within the monitor, without the unnecessary transformer taking up space. The curve-laden design permits use in a small built-in cabinet, which is improved from the MV520 (previous design).

I recommend this monitor due to the image quality, audio quality, and convenience; but with three stars, it's due to the limits of resolution.

So far, I'm impressed.

Never had problems.......2002-05-15

I have had this monitor since 2000 and have never had a single problem with it. No humming sounds or smoke coming out and I have changed the resolution quite a few times. I highly recommend this item.

Another Great Compaq Product.......2002-05-10

This monitor is everything I expected from a Compaq product. Excellent picture quality and sound. I have never found another manufacturer who can match Compaq for sound quality. Another nice feature of Compaq monitors are the microphones that are built into the monitor, so there is no need to buy a desk-cluttering external. The microphone also works great with voice recognition software. This monitor replaced a Compaq Presario 1410 monitor that I have used for the last six years (still has better sound and picture than most new monitors, just figured it was time to update!).

Quick WinXp Install and Setup, Fast transfer.......2004-09-10

Very quick and the hardest part was finding my cd drive so I could click the setup.exe of the software. I mean my documents, my pictures, when I finally found it I did a double click, and it set itself up. I should note that I also used an access point to connect my dsl and ethernet lines and the wireless connection was between My Computer, I mean, my computer and the access point. They work together by default. I'm not sure about the security of it all, I need to look into that part of it. But I was able to use my computer in the other room and download streaming pornography without running any cables, to me that makes it worth it.

works like a charm.......2002-09-19

I was very pleased to find out how well all of my 802.11a stuff works with each other. I get very fast speeds, I notice no difference than my wired network except I have no wires. I am getting a good signal from about 2 rooms down and I haven't had a loss in connection ever since I set it up (about 2 weeks ago).
