Product Description
The new Panasonic model PV-GS200 camcorders take center stage in the company's 2004 camcorder line. Featuring Leica Optics and 3CCD technology, the new models produce motion and still images with true-to-life color and expressive detail. These top-of-the-line camcorders incorporate the same type of 3CCD imaging system used in Panasonic's celebrated professional camcorders. Individual CCDs are used to reproduce the red, green and blue colors that compose an image for vivid, true-to-life pictures with remarkable depth and presence. They also boast the sophisticated Leica Dicomar lens, which has become known for its ability to capture and finely render the most delicate nuances of light and shade. With a built in digital still camera feature, the new camcorders can also record high-resolution digital still images utilizing the versatile SD Memory Card. 2.3 mega pixel PV-GS200 features a 10x telescopic optical zoom lens; a 700x digital zoom that allows for amazing 700: 1 clear, close-ups from wide angle to full telephoto zoom; and a Macro Zoom feature, which lets users shoot extreme close-ups at distances as close as 40cm.To faithfully reproduce natural skin tones, the camcorder features the new Soft Skin Detail function, which detects skin's different tones and softens the focus to create a realistic blend. With new easy-to-access controls and "direct select" features, the PV-GS200 are also extremely easy to operate. The PV-GS200 features MPEG-4 movie recording capability. Users can transfer MPEG-4 video clips with audio to a PC to create clip libraries and presentations, or to attach to an e-mail. Used as Web cams, these models are ideal for video conferencing with friends or family, or as a simple monitoring device when users are away from home.

Optics
The PV-GS200 incorporates same type of 3CCD imaging system used in PanasonicÕs professional camcorders, which results in vivid, true-to-life imagery with remarkable depth and presence. The PV-GS200 has three 760K CCDs for a total 2.3-megapixel resolution. It also boasts a Leica Dicomar lens, which has become known for its ability to capture and finely render the most delicate nuances of light and shade.
It features a 10x optical zoom lens and a 700x digital zoom for amazingly clear close-ups--from wide angle to full telephoto zoom. The PV-GS200 also has a Macro Zoom feature, which lets you shoot extreme close-ups at distances as close as 40cm (16 inches).
3CCD System
A 3CCD system uses an imaging system where the incoming light is split into its red, green, and blue parts (RGB) and captured on three separate CCD arrays. Each R/G/B signal has a full pixel resolution, resulting in a horizontal resolution three times higher than a typical camcorder's single CCD.
Digital Stills
In addition to shooting video, the PV-GS200 can also capture digital still images up to 1760 x 1320 pixels--large enough to print 8 x 10-inch print enlargements. They are stored to the Secure Digital (SD)/MultiMedia (MMC) memory card slot--an 8 MB SD card is included. The Direct Mode Dial can be used in digital still mode lets you quickly select the desired digital camera mode, such as Record, Playback, Card Record, or Card Playback.
More Features
MiniDV Format
MiniDV is the preferred format for personal and broadcast-quality video, and it is highly regarded for its high audio and image quality. With up to 540 lines of horizontal resolution and minimum color noise, MiniDV delivers a 2 percent clearer picture than analog camcorder formats. This is all delivered on a cassette that's 1/12th the size of a standard VHS tape. A MiniDV tape offers digital recording time of 2 full hours--20 times the capacity of a CD.
The 2.5-inch LCD screen can be opened a full 120 degrees away from the camcorderÕs body, making it easier to view motion images as theyÕre being captured.
The Quick Start feature enables the PV-GS55 to begin taping 1.3 seconds after turning the power on so those unexpectedÊmoments wonÕt be missed.ÊAfter pressing the Quick Start button, the camcorder will bring up the previous settings that you were shooting with--even if they were manually entered.
The MPEG-4 Movie mode lets you easily transfer MPEG-4 video clips with audio to a PC to create clip libraries and presentations, attach to an e-mail, or add to your Web site.
