Review Panasonic PVDV202 MiniDV Multicam Digital Camcorder w/ 2.5" LCD, IR Remote & 8MB SD Memory Card / Panasonic PV-DV202:Panasonic PV-DV202 3-in-1 Palmcorder MultiCam camcorder features digital camcorder, digital still camera and teleconferencing Web camera capabilities, all in one easy-to-use camcorder. MagicPix Images feature lets you shoot full color video and stills when you're in extremely low light situations. Progressive PhotoShot Mode helps to eliminate fuzziness by digitally capturing the image data of a singular moment, and temporarily storing it in two field memories. The two images are then combined to produce a better quality picture. Mega Still Pictures feature delivers sharp, one million pixel still images. With the i. LINK, you can easily connect your camcorder to your PC through the IEEE 1394 interface. It also lets you link to another camcorder to duplicate your footage without any loss in picture quality. Card Link lets you use an SD memory card to save and transfer motion and still images to your PC. Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) feature compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. [+]You can also use it in playback mode to help reduce jitter in previously recorded video. MPEG4 Movie Messenger System allows you to transfer video clips from your digital Palmcorder camcorder to your PC (via the USB port or IEEE 1394 interface) and then attach them to an e-mail. Combining 1. 3-megapixel stills-albeit interpolated-with a 10x optical zoom, the PV-DV202 wraps some great features in its plastic and metal body. Images are stored on SD cards-an 8 MB card is included-and can be downloaded to your computer via USB. For those that like to shoot in low-light conditions, the camcorder also features a built-in color-recording mode for those types of situations. According to Panasonic, the mode will help reduce the graininess often associated with low-light shooting. A zoom mic and a built-in light are included with the PV-DV202, along with an MPEG-4 movie system, which lets you capture compressed video clips for e-mailing to friends and family. Additionally, Panasonic includes a software suite from ArcSoft for organizing and printing still images. The camcorder also features a composite video out, S-video out, and, of course, IEEE 1394. |
