Editors' Picks - Panasonic Mini-DV Camcorder
Panasonic's professional AG-DVC7 full-size
Mini-DV camcorder ($1,295) features a shoulder-mount body style that
yields steadier images, delivers a more professional-looking
appearance and enhances product security compared to consumer-based
palm-sized models. It is equipped with a next-generation Interline
Transfer (IT) CCD imager and a large-diameter 15X optical zoom, which
offers high picture quality and a minimum illumination of 1 lux. The
AG-DVC7 comes standard with an IEEE-1394 digital interface terminal
for the transfer of digital video into Mac- and Windows-based
nonlinear editing systems. Weighing 4.62 lbs., the AG-DVC7 offers a
wealth of easy-to-use manual functions, including manual focus and
new picture effects. It also features a "Cinema" mode that enables
widescreen-format (16:9 letterbox) recording. Panasonic, (800)
