COMPACT, USER-FRIENDLY DIGITAL CAMCORDERS:
NV-DS65 AND NV-DS60 FROM PANASONIC
Panasonic has released two new palm-style digital camcorders, ideal for families and
travellers. The entry-level NV-DS60 is priced at $1319rrp, while the NV-DS65 - which
offers SD (Secure Digital) memory card still image recording - is $1539rrp.
Matthew Mannall, Strategic Marketing, Mobile Entertainment, Panasonic, said: “These new
models incorporate Panasonic’s popular and useful features that make shooting easier and
provide satisfying results – including our free-style remote control, Colour Night View,
zoom microphone and super image stabiliser.”
Key user-friendly features include:
• Recording on Mini DV tape
• An 800,000-pixel CCD which provides superb image clarity to take full advantage of
the high-resolution capability of the DV format
• Panasonic’s ‘Free Style Remote Controller’ lets the user shoot from almost any
position, making it easy to take low-angle, high-angle and fixed-position shots. The
remote control also puts the camera buttons right at your fingertips even when you’re
shifting the camera around or shooting with your other hand.
• Progressive Photoshot. Image data is captured as a single field and temporarily
stored in two separate field memories. The two images are then combined, resulting
in a 1.5 times increase in the vertical resolution of standard-recorded stills, achieving
a beautifully clear and brilliant picture.
• The built-in LED video light can be switched on when illumination is insufficient.
• Colour Night View provides images with colour even in dim lighting.
• The two zoom microphones adjust automatically according to the zoom setting of the
lens. ‘Tele’ mode provides high directionality to pick up sounds from distant
subjects.
• ‘Smart Wind Cut’ reduces wind noise when shooting outdoors with the built-in
stereo microphone.
