Conclusion
A 2005 CamInfo Select camcorder, the PV-GS250 (Review, Specs, $1299.99) has been shrunk into a smaller body to create the new PV-GS300 (Review, Specs, $469.99). This seems to have occurred without decreasing any of the video quality that made it a winner last year. The new size and optical image stabilization will appeal to many. It certainly sets a new price point for camcorders with OIS at $699. The lack of a headphone jack, however, is a significant omission in what is otherwise a nicely configured 3 CCD camcorder. Yet even without the headphone jack, this camcorder will likely be in competition again for the top choice in its price range. I expect the PV-GS300 to be a popular selection for users who want OIS stability and 3 CCD quality at a budget price.
