Sharper, Crisper, More Vivid - That's the Beauty of Panasonic Digital Video Cameras.

ADVANCED DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES
Panasonic's award winning Digital camcorders are so easy to use and so much fun - you can make your own exciting home movies in whatever recording format suits your needs. Panasonic's 3CCD and Mega OIS digital technologies, equipped with world renowned Leica lenses give you the most exquisite home movies ever recorded.


Confused? SD, DVD, HDD, Tape or Hybrid?
Each format offers you different benefits, make your choice by asking yourself two important questions. . . .
1) What picture quality do you want?
2) How much recording time and convenience do you need?

1) Picture Quality:
Here you need to consider a) Definition and b) Image Sensor.


a) Definition: You have two options
i) Standard Definition - gives you 500,000 pixels
ii) High Definition - gives you 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 pixels.

b) Image Sensor/ CCD: The CCD converts light and image information into electrical signals. 3CCD (as used in professional broadcast cameras and available in home camcorders) delivers a superior picture quality compared to 1CCD. 3CCD splits the light entering the lens into its primary colours (red, green, and blue). Each colour is processed separately on its own CCD resulting in high colour precision and fine detail. With 1CCD, a colour filter works out what the colours should be.

   


    2) Recording Time:
Digital camcorders are available in several formats, each format records onto media capable of differing recording times. SD memory card, built-in Hard Drive, DVD disc, MiniDV Digital Tape and more recently Hybrids. As a leading manufacturer of consumer and professional Camcorders for over 20 years, Panasonic can help. Simply refer opposite and consider your needs.
