List of Panasonic camcorders
The following is a list of camcorders from Panasonic.
Introduced in 1985, this was the first one-piece camcorder using full-size VHS cassettes. The camera uses a 1/2-inch colour Newvicon tube with a consumer-grade lens barrel giving a 6 times zoom with macro, normal focussing down to 4 feet (1.2 metres), and a minimum illumination of 10 lux. The microphone and folding viewfinder are physically built-in with no external cables, though headphones and an external microphone can used. The system gives battery and picture quality information to the cameraman using on-screen displays, and a six-digit numeric code can can be used to record the date onto the video ("baked in"), though this does not advance automatically. The system can be put into a Standby mode, which shuts down the tape transport and reduces power to the camera and viewfinder tubes, and quickly returned to full operating mode.
The recorder section uses a full-size VHS transport fitted with a two-head VHS-C video head drum, and audio is carried on a mono 8 kHz linear track. Common problems are the brake band around the supply spindle coming off its plastic backing, and distortion of the microswitch which detects when the tape door is closed. Audio output is only produced when the system is in Record, Record-Pause, or Play modes; in other conditions, such as when there is no tape present, there is no audio output.
Similar to NV-M1, but with ultrasonic autofocus and slightly different case styling.
Technically similar to NV-M3, but using a CCD instead of a vidicon tube, and in a significantly different case style.
Introduced in 1994, the Supercam is a VHS/S-VHS Betacam-style camcorder, including a bayonet-mounted lens, SMPTE timecode functions, 26-pin VTR/CCU connector, genlock and colour bar generator, and is badged as using Digital Signal Processing. Two independent XLR-input audio channels record in Hi-Fi, and on stereo linear tracks with improved 12 kHz bandwidth. The camera is based on a 1/2-inch 3-CCD optical system, and the viewfinder features a generous 1 1/2-inch CRT. A variety of battery mounts are available, including Anton-Bauer and Sony NP-1. Minimum illumination is 0.1 lux, enabled using the "Super" gain setting.
The machine is very convenient to service; many of the PCBs can be hinged down and inspected while operating, and an "Emergency Eject" is provided for by hinging down these boards and manually turning a gear wheel.
Introduced in 2002, AG-DVX100 was Panasonic's first affordable 3CCD digital progressive scan camcorder recording on MiniDV. Equipped with a 10x Leica Dicomar lens, sensor was a 1/3 inch, 470,000 pixel 3CCD. DVX100 boasts better specs and picture quality than its physically larger predecessors like AG-DVC7 or DVC15. Includes 2 native XLR microphone inputs. Two revisions, namely DVX100A and DVX100B, were introduced in 2004 and 2005, respectively.
