Panasonic PV-GS12

Manufacturer's Description

20x Hi-Definition Zoom
A zoom this powerful works like a telescope to produce close-up shots with extraordinary clarity. And with seven different zoom speeds, you can control how quick you go from a wide angle to telephoto zoom - anywhere from 2 to 22 seconds.
800x Digital Zoom
Through advanced digital technology, the zoom ratio on our digital camcorders can be increased to 700:1, producing an incredibly, clear, close shot.
i.Link
Lets you connect your camcorder to a PC for advanced viewing and editing purposes2. This digital technology also lets you connect your camcorder to a similarly equipped camcorder to make duplicate copies of your recordings with practically no loss of picture quality.
CARD LINK
SD Memory Cards offer a simple, lightweight way to transfer your images to a PC3. It even lets you create images on your PC to use while you shoot videos with your camcorder. This revolutionary medium is included on all models with the CARD LINK function.
EfficiBright LED Light
Our Compact Camcorders are equipped with this built-in LED light, which adds a bright light to your subjects, giving you a better shot while preserving battery life.
2.5" Diagonal Color LCD Monitor
Lets you view your subject in full color during shooting and playback through a large, 2.5" LCD screen.
Digital Electronic Image Stabilization
Digital EIS is a unique idea that helps compensate for unintentional hand and/or camcorder movement. It even reduces unwanted jitter from recordings made in a car, or while walking.
Zoom Mic with Wind Noise Reduction Function
The audio zooms in along with the picture, enabling you to pinpoint distant sound emanating from your subject. And Wind Noise Reduction helps to cut down on unwanted background noise.
USB Port
Select camcorders come with a USB port that lets you quickly connect to a PC to transfer your footage for viewing and editing purposes.
MagicPix Images (Low Light Shooting)
Now you can shoot full color video and stills when you're in extremely low light situations. On select models, the LCD panel provides even more light
PhotoShot Built-in Digital Still Camera
In addition to normal camcorder operation, you can also use the camcorder as a digital still camera. It`s the perfect way for you to consolidate your photo and video needs into one portable camcorder. And the still pictures can be stored on an SD Memory Card for easy transfer to a PC for storing, editing, or e-mailing. You can also create a slide show by recording them to video in the camcorder.
Picture-in-Picture
Lets you take a previously recorded still image, miniaturize it, and then include it in your videos for a unique special effect.
Cinema Mode
Records video in the same 16:9 aspect ratio as a movie screen, giving your videos a dramatic, cinematic effect during playback.
