Panasonic NV-GS120
3CCD Camera System
The same system that is used in professional broadcast cameras can produce high quality pictures for you. Because the CCD (Charged Couple Device) is a key device for image quality, all professional video cameras use a 3CCD system. In this system, a prism splits the incident light into its three primary colours (red, green and blue) and each resultant colour signal is collected by a separate CCD. The 3CCD system reproduces colours with exceptional fidelity and captures even subtle gradations.

| Don't be fooled by its size Just like broadcast-quality cameras, the GS120 uses three seperate CCD's for each of the primary colours of light (red, green and blue), resulting in brilliant colour rendition and detailed gradation. Combine this with the world renowned Leica Dicomar lens and you have all you need to produce professional quality videos in the palm of your hand. |
