I liked it, but I would never use it as prime camera, just cause it's not good for low light, it is a bit darker compared to trv900 or xl1 that I've been using. Here's a review of it that would give you a good idea what you get for with a panasonic gs70
http://www.dvspot.com/reviews/panasonic/pv_gs70-review/index.shtml I've shot an event with it before, here's a video clip of it, the left angle is all with gs70, the right is with a trv900 www.mdifilm.com/acti That would give you some idea what to expect with a Panasonic gs70 cam.

Is the shot quality on the panasonic near that of the GL2? How about at night? We don't do events, we shoot truck shows. Brightly painted, multi-hued cars. I like the GLs for the features, but this may be a great option for my freelance coverage guys (pickup shots). We also get a lot of night stuff, parties, cruising, hanging out of windows at 70MPH...Would it hold up the way my Canons do?

This way, you get to have another cheap 3ccd one as a desk player at the same time, you can use it to do pickup shots quickly with it or use as 2nd cam (note, matching two different cam's lighting source might be something hard but not difficult to accomplish).

I really want to stop that, so can I buy a cheap Mini DV camcorder to use for capturing, or will it affect the quality? Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
