I've got one on lay-a-way at Wal-Mart.

I can get it out but I was wondering if anybody has any feedback on this Camcorder.

It got a very good review at the ... 2003 B & H CamcorderInfo.com Shoot-Off, for the $300-$399 price category.

The Panasonic PV-DV53 is a low-priced entry level camcorder with good video and fair low-light performance. With an average PriceGrabber price of $350, and top ranking in the 2003 B & H CamcorderInfo.com Shoot-Off, for the $300-$399 price category, the PV-DV53 is worthy machine for the point and shoot crowd. The camcorder's ¼ inch CCD, and 10x zoom lens with a 680K pixel resolution, delivers in the video performance department. The PV-DV53's automatic settings capture an adequate picture, and an assortment of manual adjustments allow for picture tweaking to get that shot in a variety of conditions. The PV-DV53 comes complete with a built-in, battery-draining, spotlight. Besides a few minor flaws it's an outstanding camcorder.

So is there anything I should know ... guys ???
