Instructions for the purchase of a camcorder ... of course for beginners (Part 1) Welcome to purchase a consultant in the slashCAM community, this article will help you to navigate in the vast world of digital camcorder. Of dozens of specifications are usually misunderstood symbol, I will help you to find one better then ... And to feel. Happy reading!
Maybe that sounds like a truism for you, but quite familiar to your feeling when you hold a camcorder for the first time in your hands! If your camera still shots, but should be of high quality, the camcorder needs to lie comfortably in the hand. All important functions such as zoom lever or the Start-/Stopptaste must be easy and not by bending fingers be achievable. Tests handling directly in stores, by their different positions, such as trying as equals, frog and bird's eye view, chest and knee height.
Your audience will notice the mere viewing of your videos, whether ye with the camcorder in your hand well or unwell. In addition, the matching for you, handling your recordings afterwards gives a special touch.
All components must make a reasonably stable impression. Soft zooming play your shots later, an important role, respects, therefore, on their ease of movement.
The CCD: The heart of any camcorder Translated that means something like: Charge-Device (for English experts: Charge Coupled Device) A CCD sensor is (usually) or sometimes synonymous from several hundred thousand to several million cells, has a diagonal of 1 / 6 "- about 1 / 3" (0.42 cm - 0.85 cm, 1 inch = 2.54 cm) the incident light into electrical signals to convert. This "land" on the then current MiniDV tape. Mature for 1 / 6 "CCD's are the standard 800,000 pixels, with 1 / 5" approx 1MP, at 1 / 4 "- 1 / 4, 5" is about 1.3MP and at 1 / 3 "approx 2-4MP ...
The cheaper models are equipped with a CCD, while the more expensive three CCD's have, one each for red, green and blue.
But Panasonic solves this regularity with its favorable 3-Chipper NV-GS75/120/140/150/180/200/250/280/300/70/400/500, which cost between 400 ¬ and 1000 ¬. Their quality can not be underestimated and not neglect by the falling price of synonymous.
Oh yes, if anyone says, you shall pay attention to the Resolutiondes lens, forget it right away. The Lens and everything is about to have NO (measurable in pixels) resolution, but directs the light onto the chip, which can Resolutionvorweisen a (measurable in pixels). (for example, are 0.8 MP, 800 000 pixels, ie 800 000 small sensors on the chip, each of which convert a "spot")
The principle: light passes through the Lens -> sensors on the chip to respond to the light -> A processor calculates the light into digital signals -> (Picture) data of land on the storage media ... so easy ...
Auflösungsähnlich would be only the "optical resolution", which can determine the accuracy of the refraction of light on a chip - but Leica and Carl - Zeiss, even the Panasonic andCanonEigenhauslinsen will have the requirements. A Markenobjektiv is preferable in any case, a no-name house-own lens.
Intensity and noise of the CCD The Resolutionspielt in Comparison to the light intensity to noise ratio and a smaller role than you think. As you know are 768 x 576 pixels tape on it, no longer need it. Of course, "eats" you - if you have one - the electric image stabilization (SIS quite) away many pixels. If you Bildverwacklungsreduzierer an optical (OIS) have installed in your cam, you need folgegerecht really only PAL resolution, but nowadays, the camcorder can even take pictures ...;.)

[...] Hi Acer,
I would like your posting something from my own experience, add:
A black and white viewfinder, to assess the sharpness of your first choice.
Important for stills or long scenes without much motion.
I however prefer a color viewfinder.
BEFORE the rotation can _ausschließlich damit_ (if no control monitor is available) the White Balance to be carried out, the sharpness control is thus synonymous Country lifestyle possible, but in one motion scenes _leichte_ blur is not so drastically on how a chromatic picture.
The most consumer-or prosumer-Corder now have color monitor, color viewfinder usually even synonymous, partly shared with mono, but that is still not a "real" b / w Picture.
BTW: Setting BEFORE turning the focus onto the subject and manual work, namely, the focus would be focused elsewhere in pans on other levels and the main motive would be blurred.
Thus, the main subject is always sharp, if they are synonymous (eg s.Bildrand located at "open" interviews).

not only b / w viewfinder, synonymous with an s / w monitor.
Therefore, the information screens are synonymous for professional cameras, b / w () tube technology. A mono-CRT can play back the picture a lot sharper, however, rather than a gross pixel matrix.

Hello,
I am now time that a row into the hymns of praise! Thank you, thank you!
How sure many here, I've spent many hours with the camera and search gekämft data with information about each model. This contribution of immense help to you - really a dream of every applicant :-) video camera buyer.
Now, I have still questions, so synonymous maybe you can expand the article again:
It's about the
Lens. The aperture duties do you have already explained, but what I start with a description such as F 1.6 [w] -
F 2.8 [t] (on the NV GS 500)? The aperture range but can not be, because that is probably yes go to 22 or so ... What is the last value I want to say then?
And how to explain these two statements on a Lens:
f = 3.3 and
1:1.6? So, I thought that 1.6 is the determining value and means large aperture, but now stands for Aperture, but f - I am confused :-(. Or is f is the focal? But even though it is already given by the mm.
Who should I contact? Danke schon mal!
Regards
Jennifer
PS Review of the NV GS 500 would be great!
Antwort von Peter S.:
At telephoto zoom lenses, the light intensity is usually lower than in the wide-angle. The GS500 also has the wide range 1.6 and in the telephoto range 2.8 intensity.

Possibly. can be one of the professionals here something more to say. so it is. benefit cameras have a black and white viewfinder tube. The reason is that mono-tubes do not have a hole mask and at least 3 times so the image is so sharp like an equally large color viewfinder (no preference whether or tube lcd).

Oh yes, if anyone says, you shall pay attention to the Resolutiondes lens, forget it right away. The Lens and everything is about to have ANY resolution, but directs the light onto the chip, which can Resolutionvorweisen one. Of course, optical components, a resolution, and indeed have an "optical". If you argue the opposite, then you should Sony and Panasonic matters discussed in Optics, that they cost the contracts with Leica and Zeiss cancel.

Antwort von Acer:
If you say so. I thought that you opt for. Resolution of equipment can not speak.
I mean the way that the same 2MP CCD Lens one can just expose "like a 10MP, since the light is not so broken as one pixel".

Antwort von Frenky9:
[quote = "Acer"] If you say so. I thought that you opt for. Resolution of equipment can not speak.
The synonymous true. As indeed synonymous with photos no Resolutiongibt, but a number of pixels for the Width and one for the Height. A Resolutionentsteht only when the size of the output is established, say, an expression or a deduction, for example, a photograph. Then you stand a certain number per inch s.score available (dpi).
Of course it is so that the optics must s.The performance of the sensor to be adjusted. Best (negative) example: The current 10-MP-shoot cameras. The diameter of the lens is so small, that are left, according to c't "behind the Lens" only six or seven mega pixels. A smooth sham Thus, similarly to the hunt, the computer manufacturer for ever higher MHz processors. Or the 3-megapixel logo on a DV camcorder, of course, purely s.der Resolution720x576 can change nothing.
So do not let you fuck, and certainly not in the resolution.

After what one can, for example, read about the Canon HV 20, is the quality of high resolution material taken synonymous then especially when it 'runterskaliert' and 'only' is output in PAL format.

But I was told that I s.den the Cam PAL Television join me there and watch the videos can. Where this is correct. In normal standard definition, you can view the pictures, because have current HDV - / AVCHD camcorder via an internal downscaling (eg for the "Normalvideo" output). Only high resolution is not a view without HD Television possible.

I think it was different and was meant to understand understood.
The HG 10 is the aufgenommenene HD signals in the camera not in 576 i convert PAL and it can not synonymous record directly into 576 i Pal.
This only affects the PC Page So the cutting, is located on the USB just always at 1080i. Anyone who wants to record a time with the HG 10 is only in 576 Pal, because for example, Calculator or its SW is too lame, must first convert the 1080i signal in the PC with a program in 576i Pal.
The AV output, but spends even NTSC 576i, really.
The Sony SR may be better 5.7 and 8 - or downconverted 576i Pal Recording of 1080 in PAL 576i already in the camera.
