Panasonic Pro AG-DVC20 3CCD MiniDV Proline Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom Reviews
For the price I paid, and all things considered, the DVC-20 is a work horse. I also found that the Audio-Techniqa shotgun mic is very helpful too in nature settings. I don't need XLR input as I run everything through a small studio mixer straight into the 3.5mm input.
This camcorder never ceases to amaze me. It is relatively easy to use right out of the box, and the menu system does take some time to get familiar with (which in and of itself is not a complaint). .
I produce outdoor videos for the infirmed people in our nursing homes who cannot get out through no fault of their own. I wish I could adapt the camcorder to use 6x6 filters though (not that I am pitching Colkin filters). I have not been disappointed. I do recommend getting the longer lasting battery though - the two that come with the camcorder should be used for backup only due to limited usage.
But, I do use 43mm glass filters which is fine (mostly as warming filter and a polarizing). I use this camcorder extensively in such harsh conditions as a minus 15 degrees on the shores of Lake Superior to Minnesota's Serengeti summer temps which can hit over 90 degrees (in the shade).
Before I was doing still photograph. I like the camcorder a lot as a matter of fact I use it right out of the box sight unseen and had no problem what so ever. I shoot freelance for the local news stations. Was the best decesion I made. I would give it thumbs up. I had read a lot about it in the reviews before it was purchased. This is the first pro video camcorder that I have owned.
It is perfect for anyone who cannot afford an incredibly expensive camera but still needs one that performs well. I would recommend this camera to anyone starting out in video. I am very happy with this camera in every aspect. Also, with two batteries and a charger(which it comes with) there is never a reason to run out of battery life. The major factor in deciding to purchase this camera was the shoulder mount, 3CCD, video quality, and the professional look of the camera. I purchased this camera for shooting music videos, short films and commercials.
My product arrived ahead of schedule and intact. I am very happy with this camera. I film documentary and live performances and for the great price this will up my level of filming a notch.
El sonído también debe trabajarse en forma semi automática pues puede saturarse muy facilmente. Fácil de uso, ligera y con buen desempeño en colores en casi cualquier condición de luz. La recomiendo ampliamente como cámara para iniciar en el negocio o como cámara de repuesto o emergencia en caso de contar con alguna de mayor rango de precio. no tiene una excelente nitides y definición comparada con las nuevas cámaras de alta definición, pero en la relación costo-beneficio presente un desempeño mejor que aceptable. Su desempeño con iluminación incandecente para el balance de blancos es buena, aunque al momento de grabar si cambia uno de fuente de iluminación no reacciona adecuadamente al balance de blancos automático, para lo cuál es necesario estar actualizando el ajuste. Una excelente video camara para iniciar en el negocio del video de bodas. El unico pero que encontré en la cámara se refiere al enfoque de imagen,.
