Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic PV-L550 Palmcorder camcorder is a high-definition zoom camcorder with VHS compatibility, so its tapes play in your VCR. The 18x optical zoom mechanically increases the focal length of the lens and acts like a telescope for details and close-ups. The PV-L550 offers close-ups or zoom out for wide angle shots, at four different speeds. With 150x digital zoom, the PV-L550 allows you to shoot video at a greater distance from your subject. The 2.5-inch LCD screen helps you shoot from a wide variety of angles.
Digital electronic image stabilization compensates for unstable images while you are walking or recording from a moving vehicle, an important feature either at home or on vacation. For those low-light shooting conditions in cloudy weather or indoors, the PV-L550 provides a built-in color enhancement light. The auto light delivers improved picture quality, facial coloring, and tint.
One unique feature of the PV-L550 Palmcorder is its motion sensor capability. After perceiving motion, the camcorder will begin recording within seconds and stops 30 seconds after motion ceases. For security, the time and date are automatically stamped on your recording. The PV-L550 accessories include an AC adaptor with DC power cable, battery pack, audio-video cable, shoulder strap, VHS PlayPak, and a CR2025 clock battery.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great little camcorder,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic PV-L550 VHS-C Camcorder (Electronics)
The Panasonic Palm-corder series are all excellent values. I looked into various models and chose the PV-L550 because it is affordable and has the LCD display (with a built in speaker). At first I didn't think I'd need the LCD display, but now I love it! This model comes with a 2 hour battery, recharger, VHS adapter/playpack and shoulder strap. The lower models don't have the LCD display but do have a color viewfinder and the higher cost models have larger LCD displays, remote controls and other neat bells and whistles. The playback both on LCD display and the the TV are very clear. The motion sensor came in handy when I wanted to see which dog was causing havoc in the living room. The prices on all the models vary greatly from store to store and from website to website, so do some serious cost comparison before purchasing. The price variation I saw was over $100! I also purchased an extra 3 hour battery directly from Panasonic.com because I video tape a lot of weekend sports activities and often don't have time to recharge the battery. Overall, a great value!

Great Camcorder!,
By Tracy Collins (Blairsville, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Panasonic PV-L550 VHS-C Camcorder (Electronics)
I got this Panasonic Yesterday, and it works great! I tried filming our dog runnng around in circles and it still picks up with no lines at all on the screen when you veiw it later. If you want a light, small, camcorder this is the one for you.. Not to mention its also pretty cheap. The price on here was 396.91 and that included shipping charges. At Sears its 399 withOUT taxes.. Good Deal HERE!

Small but works like full size,
By mr. tegs "24tegs" (Cedar Rapids, IA United States) - See all my reviews

I'll keep it simple. Lots of neat bells and whistles. Small camcorder that works like full size VHS. Has a nice adaptor for the VHS VCR. I tried other camcorders and full size VHS cameras before I bought this one and it was the closest to working like a full size camera. It is very light weight even with the battery on it. Your arm does't get tired from holding it up. It is also nice to have the LCD when you want to tape your whole family you don't have to look in the view finder to be sure it's lined up right. You just turn the LCD screen to face the front of the camera.
