Panasonic PVL-454 VHS-C Camcorder, 20x Optical/750x Digital Zoom, Color Viewfinder

Features:

• VHS Compatibility
  Surprisingly, many camcorders use tapes that won't play in your VCR, often leaving you the complicated task of connecting wires from your camcorder or infrared receiver to your TV in order to watch your recordings. And using your camcorder to play back your home videos causes twice the wear on its video heads. Panasonic VHS-C Palmcorder? Camcorders are VHS format, so their tapes can be played in any VCR with an optional VHS PlayPak cassette adaptor.
• Lens (CCD) Size
  1/6" 270K
• Hi-Definition Zoom: 20x
  All Palmcorder? camcorders are equipped with a lens capable of either a 26:1 or 20:1 optical zoom. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce extraordinary close-up shots, superior in clarity to those provided by digital zoom. You can also choose between four zoom speeds, so you can go from a wide angle to full telephoto zoom in 2 to 16 seconds.
• Digital Zoom ¹: 750x
  Through the use of digital technology, the zoom ratio on Panasonic VHS camcorders can be increased to an amazing 700:1 or greater, depending on the model. After the highest optical zoom setting is reached, the digital zoom automatically takes over, magnifying the image by blowing up the pixels to give you an incredibly close shot.
  
• 2 Sec. Quick Zoom/Zoom Speed (2.0 - 16 sec.)
• Color LCD Monitor: 2.5 in.
  The LCD delivers a brilliantly clear picture in full, vivid color. And since the screen rotates 270?, you can hold the camcorder at many different angles while you record. Plus, with a built-in speaker, you can check your finished recordings right on location by playing them back on the LCD screen.
• Color Viewfinder
• Digital Electronic Image Stabilization
  Panasonic Digital EIS compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement to help stabilize your recordings, even when you're recording as a passenger from a moving vehicle or while walking.
• Built-in Light
• Full-Size Video Head Cylinder
  You can expect outstanding picture quality in your recordings since the video head cylinder in our camcorders is the same size as the cylinder in our VHS VCRs. When your video is played back on VHS decks, or in the camcorder, the picture is crisp and steady. In fact, you can see the difference in the size of the cylinders by opening the cassette door on any Palmcorder? Camcorder and comparing it to other brands.
  
• Programmed Recording
  You can program your camcorder to start and stop recording for either 10, 20, 30 minutes or until the tape ends.
• High Speed Shutter (Auto, 1/60 - 1/10,000)
• Battery Pack: Up to 2 Hours (Ni-CD)
• Color Digital Effects (7 Effects, 8 Colors)
• MotionSensor
  Panasonic knows that you can never have too much protection. When using MotionSensor, the camcorder will start recording within seconds of perceiving motion, and stop 30 seconds after motion ceases. The date and time are automatically recorded on the tape as an added benefit.
