This is a 3ccd mini dv camera we used for filming ads for our show northwoods Adventures (
www.northwoodsoutdoorstv.com). The camera is 6 months old and in A+ shape. We are looking to move up to the HD model.
Spec:
Panasonic introduces another version of its ubiquitous 3-chip "prosumer" camcorder. The AG-DVC30 uses 3 1/4-inch CCDs to record standard NTSC 30-frames per second video. The camcorder integrates some film-look features of the 24-frame AG-DGX100 camera, along with a few unique features. It is the only 3-CCD camera that has an infrared, black and white capture, night video mode. The camera is equally at home in security applications, event videography, or as a superior-quality camcorder for documenting the daily lives of family and friends.

Key Features
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Infrared Capture in Low-/No-Light Environments
[ shim.gif ]The AG-DVC30 is the only 3-CCD camcorder to integrate black and white recording using infrared, invisible to the eye, signals. The camera has a built-in infrared transmitter that cast beams 16 feet. Clear black and white video can be captured to that point. For greater distances, a separate, longer-throw infrared transmitter will cast beams just under 100 feet. This feature gives the camcorder greater versatility in surveillance, news gathering, and nature video. Additionally, time and date can be super-imposed onto the picture.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Scene File Video Parameter Memory
[ shim.gif ]The camcorder will remember specific camera set-ups for specific lighting or special effect conditions. The parameters that will be memorized include detail, chroma-level, chroma-phase, color temperature, master pedestal and skin-tone detail.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Film-Look Features
[ shim.gif ]Combining gamma settings and frame-modes, the AG-DVC30 can produce video that looks more like film. The gamma settings change the sensitivity of light mapped on the gray-scale. The camera also captures video with an electronic interpolation that simulates progressive scan with seemingly no time differences between fields.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Variable Zoom Speed Settings
[ shim.gif ]In addition to the touch-sensitive nature of the zoom servo rocker switch, the camera menu can select a general slower or faster zoom sensitivity.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Digital Zoom Pre-Sets
[ shim.gif ]The AG-DVC30 has a low noise, low interference optical zoom built into the Leica Dicomar lens. Optically, the lens elements give a wide angle of 4.1mm, a 35mm format equivalent of 39.5mm, and a maximum telephoto setting of 65.6mm, a 16 times zoom (623mm in 35mm format terms). Additionally, the camera has digital zoom increments at 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x, 5x, and 10x. Using the low-magnification digital zoom feature keeps image degradation to a minimum.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Optical Image Stabilization
[ shim.gif ]Subtle hand-shake, small amount of vehicle motion, and other low level vibrations can be removed from the video process prior to image capture. The AG-DVC30 uses a system of motors that correct the plain of the lens to counteract minute changes in the image.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Slow Shutter Function
[ shim.gif ]Increasing sensitivity is just one byproduct of utilizing slow shutter. The camera also produces special effects that demonstrate motion. Additionally, the shutter functions as a scan matching system to stop raster roll on video and computer screens.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]LCD Monitor with Audio Meters
[ shim.gif ]The camera has a bright, full color LCD monitor built onto the side of the camera. With a menu selection, 2 audio channel meters, in different colors, can be viewed to monitor audio levels.
"¢ [ shim.gif ]Date and Time Stamp Feature
[ shim.gif ]Useful in legal and security environments, the AG-DVC30 can overlay time, day, and date over the video image.
