CNET Review
The Good: Superb zoom reach; excellent battery life; simple controls; true wide-screen recording.
The Bad: Poor still quality; nonintuitive icons for manual settings; grainy footage.
The Bottom Line: With its extreme zoom range and its low price, the Panasonic PV-GS39 is a good choice for shooting distant subjects.
