Amazon.com Product Description
With its three CCD sensors, The PV-DV950 is Panasonic's top-of-the-line consumer digital camcorder. The high quality three-CCD system--which uses one CCD for each primary color--is seen more often in professional-level digital video equipment than in consumer cameras. In addition, the camera features a 12x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom for close-ups.

With any handheld video camera, it's difficult to keep the camera completely steady. Fortunately, the PV-DV950 features electronic image stabilization, which compensates for unintentional camera movements while recording. In addition, the image stabilization can be used during playback. For extra creative control, the PV- DV950 has a manual focus ring and auto exposure lock to avoid any potential problems with the autofocus--such as someone walking across the frame or sudden lighting changes.

While its focus is primarily on digital video, the PV-DV950 also has the ability to record digital stills onto the mini DV tape, with room for about 1,000 images on an 80-minute tape in LP mode.

The included IEEE 1394 port makes it easy to connect to a computer for editing, or to connect to another digital video camera, and an S-Video output provides an easy connection to televisions and other monitoring equipment. The camera also features a 2.5- inch color LCD monitor, manual white balance adjustment, gain control in five steps from 0 to 12 dB, and several special effects.
