Panasonic GS300 3ccd

[sirdj]

I purchased this camera, with the hopes of getting some footage of my gigs plus use it as live cam... I can tell you, my dissapointment was to the max.

It felt like those hamburger commercials, you see the picture of beatiful hamburger and when you actually have it your hands, looks like a truck ran over it.

Picture quality isn't great even though it's a 3ccd camera, the room had excellent light conditions, still it did not help.

I'm now looking into the Sony and Canon Prosumer.

Anyone ever used the Panasonic?

sirdj, we have used Sony for the longest time, back from the GL1's we currently shoot with the Sony Z1U's and love em. HD looks great on these cameras

If your interested I can hook you up with my boss who can sell you a pair
BTW we sell a TON of these cameras, or you can also get the FX1 the next step down (Prosumer version)

Bounce,

I think Sony is the best way to go, what kind of pricing are we talking about?

 

[Travis B]

Honestly sirdj, I couldn't tell you, I don't crunch the numbers, but if your still interested I can get you our number, and you can call us and we will be able to put you in touch with the guy who does.

Us = PIZAZZ not Bounce Multimedia

The Panasonic is a great camcorder . . . but you bought a consumer oriented camcorder designed to shoot kids soccer games, so it is no wonder you didn't get the footage you were looking for!

You'll need to spend a few more bucks to get a camcorder that will do what you are trying to do with it!

Gs250

I have the GS250 and it is great. I have sold alot of DVD's with it. The only problem I have had is in low light, it gets alittle grainy.

The Grain is what I'm trying to avoid, someone mentioned a PTZ Camera like the Sony D70.

I added a light to the mix and it corrected the problem for the most part. Won't you have thatroblem with all camcords?

Another way to avoid the grain on all digital camcorders is to turn off the digital zoom!

You can turn it off in the menu . . .

I was looking for my owners manual.
Musicdoctor, can you give me an idea how to do that. I looked and cannot figure out how to do it. I am going to see if I can download the manual also.

Disregard... I found it online and will try it next week.
