Panasonic PV-GS320 3.1MP 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

My buddy bought a new hdv camcorder yesterday after we had a talk about them. He knows Im a huge camcorder nerd so he came to me with his questions. I actually didn’t give him a specific model just told him about the different feature sets that are available so he could go pick one out himself for the things he would be using it the most for. He picked up a real nice one from Panasonic.

Imagine taking video shots on a moving boat and then viewing them on a large-screen TV. They’re likely to appear blurry from the boat’s movement and from your unsteady hands. Panasonic solves this problem with O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which minimizes hand-shake in situations where it is most often a problem, such as with zoom shots – or on a moving boat. The system is optical, so there is no quality loss, and images look clear and beautiful on a big-screen TV.Enjoy vivid color, crisp detail, and subtle gradation with 3CCD, the system used by most professional broadcast cameras. In a 1CCD system, all incoming light information is processed by the same CCD. The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. The result: beautifully rendered, natural-looking images every time.

He’s a boater so the description nailed it for him…haha. It’s a really nice cam though. Every time someone of my friends gets a new piece of kit it makes me want to go shopping lol.
