Product Description
Panasonic's Palmcorder PV-L452 contains both standard camcorder as well as PhotoShot built-in digital still camera capabilities. MagicPix Images feature lets you record full color still images when you're in extremely low light situations. Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) feature compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. You can also use it in playback mode to help reduce jitter in previously recorded video. This camcorder is equipped with a lens capable of 20: 1 optical zoom. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce extraordinary close-up shots, superior in clarity to those provided by digital zoom. You can also choose between four zoom speeds, so you can go from a wide angle to full telephoto zoom in 2 to 16 seconds. The included SD Memory Card assures smooth networking with PCs, TVs, and PDAs that are equipped with an SD slot. 16: 9 Wide Screen Mode provides recording video in the same 16: 9 aspect ratio as a movie screen, giving your videos a dramatic, cinematic effect during playback. Color Digital Filter gives you the same duo-tone effect of a color filter without having to attach one to the lens. It lets you add a sepia, red, yellow, blue or green tone to the overall picture.
Amazon.com Product Description
Digital pictures aren't unique to digital camcorders anymore--the Panasonic PV-L452 functions as both a VHS-C camcorder and a digital camera. It also features a large 2.5-inch color LCD, 20x optical zoom, high-performance two-hour battery, and special digital effects like strobe, wipe, and 16:9 widescreen. You can even digitally add color filters to your video without having to attach one to the lens. Lens
It features an optical zoom magnification of 20x along with a 750x digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes. Digital Stills
The PhotoShot mode allows the L452 to take digital stills, storing them on the included 8 MB Secure Digital card. SD memory cards are high-capacity memory cards that can be easily connected to PCs, TVs, and PDAs that are equipped with an SD slot. The MagicPix function produces full-color still images when you're in low-light situations. Inputs and Outputs
The standard RCA input/output and cable is included, so you can hook the camcorder to a TV for convenient viewing or to a VCR for dubbing to regular VHS.

 Easy to use, lots of capability! March 3, 2002

I have worn out two other camcorders in the past 18 years. When I decided to replace my most recent one, I wanted something that would have an LCD screen, be comfortable to hold, and be easy to operate. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money. With a little research, I found the PV-L452, and was delighted with its list of features, including the capability of taking digital still photos! After purchasing it, I charged the battery and read through the instruction book, then began shooting. The camcorder is a nice weight, heavy enough to feel solid, but light enough to be held without fatigue, with conveniently placed controls. The zoom operates cleanly and crisply. The camcorder includes a number of special effects, and once connected to my computer, editing was a snap! This is a wonderful camcorder for the price, with plenty of high end features for those of us that enjoy videotaping, yet is easy enough for a novice to pick up and take great video right away. The digital still feature takes very good photos, better than I had expected! I would not hesitate to recommend this camcorder!

I really like this camcorder, easy to use...nice picture. Instructions are a little hard to follow for a first time user, but once you get used to it, it is great.
 Nice Camera...but it won't talk to my PC October 23, 2002

I purchased this camcorder/digital camera in May 2002 and found that it takes excellent video, is easy to use, and seemed to be a good value. Unfortunately my good first impression came to an end. Despite every trick known to a computer geek and following Panasonic's instructions to the letter, I cannot get the camera to "talk" to my PC. Therefore the digital camera function is worthless to me now. Panasonic's product literature states the Windows 95/98/Me/2000 OS is required. I am using Windows XP. So I went to Panasonic's website to download the newest iteration of the software but that didn't solve the problem. I called Panasonic's customer service and despite numerous busy signals, finally reached a rep who was basically clueless. It might be the cable, but I don't want to buy a new one. I'd really like Panasonic to solve the problem!

I bought this camera with my money, and i have never been happier with anything else. The resolution is great, its got many effects, and the digital camera works great. One thing I love about the digital camera is that you can hook up the camera to the TV, turn on the digital camera, and play the pictures, creating a slide-show. I really like the way the camcorder part is easy to use; I was able to teach myself how to use it and I'm a first time user. So, it is a great first time use camera.
Very nice for the price November 7, 2002

I think this camcorder/camera is very nice!! I have used it to download pictures and they turn out great. I did have a little problem with it saying that it was not connected but after just trying a few more times it worked. I love it and especially for the price and the accessory kit. I am anxious to use it more!! You can find the memory cards at at good deal. I bought a 64mb one so that I will have lots of room. Lots of gadgets on the camcorder but will take time to figure them all out but I think a VERY good deal for the price!!!
