You want a lot out of a video camera. You want beautiful moving pictures and beautiful stills. You want a camera
that's easy to use and small enough to take anywhere. And you want to edit the images you record and use them for networking.
With Panasonic's wide variety of video cameras, you're sure to find a model that meets your needs.
Choose a model that takes remarkably vivid, high-quality still shots and moving pictures.
Choose one that combines lots of style with lots of functions, or one with a super-high-power optical zoom.
Or choose from a selection of DVD models that record directly to discs.
Find the video camera that's just right for you, and let Panasonic be your partner in a new video lifestyle.

The same system that's used in professional broadcast cameras
3CCD Camera System
AXIS (Advanced Pixel Interpolation System)
A separate noise reduction circuit is used for each of the three RGB colours. Suppressing noise
particularly at low illumination levels, these circuits allow bright, detailed recording even in
dim lighting.

Pixel interpolation data obtained by differential calculation is used to precisely process the
CCDs' output. This maximizes the effect of the Quad-Density Pixel Distribution, helping to
produce clear, high-contrast images.

Because the CCD is a key
device for image quality, all
professional video cameras
device for image quality, all
professional video cameras
use a 3CCD system. In this system, a prism splits
the incident light into its three primary colours
(red, green and blue) and each resultant colour
signal is collected by a separate CCD. The 3CCD
system reproduces colours with exceptional
fidelity and captures even subtle gradations.
Advanced Panasonic technology has made the 3CCD system small enough for
home video cameras. The GS200 and GS120, which debut as the world's smallest
3CCD video cameras*, deliver the same high-level functions and operating ease
as professional models, yet are easy to take anywhere. They make it easy to
capture images with natural, true-to-life colours anywhere you go.

2.3 Megapixel Still Picture Recording
Quad-Density Pixel Distribution, a technology used in
broadcasting, makes it possible to capture still pictures with
superb megapixel quality. The tiny 2.5-micron intervals
between pixels are shifted by one-half pitch both vertically and
horizontally, which distributes them on the CCD with four times

superb megapixel quality. The tiny 2.5-micron intervals
between pixels are shifted by one-half pitch both vertically and
horizontally, which distributes them on the CCD with four times
the density of previous systems. This lets the GS200 — the world's smallest 3CCD
video camera — capture still pictures with 2.3-megapixel quality. You get the
outstanding detail, colour and sensitivity that come with the 3CCD camera system.
