Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The VHS-C format Panasonic PV-L850 is a high-quality Palmcorder that is also capable of taking digital stills. The PV-L850 has a 26x optical zoom (and 300x total zoom) to get you as close to the action as you need, while digital image stabilization helps eliminate jitters due to hand shake. A built-in auto-light helps compensate in low-light situations. The camera can switch from a wide-angle shot to full zoom in two seconds with the integrated Quick Zoom function, and a dedicated five-head system ensures high picture quality at any recording mode.
For recording video, the camera uses VHS-C tapes, which can be played in your VCR after they're inserted into the included adapter. If you're shooting stills, images are recorded on a CompactFlash card and transferred to your computer via an included cable.
The PV-L850 also comes with a TV tuner so you can watch live TV broadcasts, although you can't record the TV signal. The PV-L850 includes a wireless remote control (handy for both recording and playback), while a motion sensor allows the camcorder to be used as a security camera by automatically starting to record whenever something comes into the camera's view.
An assortment of effects is available when you use the PV-L850. Strobe, wide, and wipe add flavor to footage. A color digital filter works just like a traditional filter, giving your video a duotone effect. Transitions are made easy with the digital color fader. Should you need to, footage can be played back at half speed, and an auto-titler/phrase titler adds titles to footage shot for special occasions. The PV-L850 will also automatically adjust the camcorder's clock for daylight savings time.

good, but...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Panasonic PV-L850 VHS-C Camcorder (Electronics)
I have the PVL-858. I like the camera, loaded with features, but we live on the east coast, and every summer that I try to use the camera, I get the message "Dew Detected" and the thing shuts off automatically. The days are humid here, and I can't use it in the least humidity. What good is a camcorder that is so unreliable? Missed our vacation to Bermuda, and our summers at home and at the beach. ARGH!!!!!!!!!
4.0 out of 5 stars

Nice camcorder, but the 750 model is *very, very* similar. The750 is also $ . . . cheaper.However, if you want to spend a littlemore for a slightly more powerful cam, get this one.
