My Video Partner
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 |
GS200 GS120 |
Because the CCD is a key 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.
New image processor developed especially for the 3CCD system
Crystal Engine |
GS200 GS120 |
The Crystal Engine is a special image processing circuit for
3CCD camera systems. Processing the signal from each of the three CCDs independently, it gives both moving and still pictures exceptional quality.
New 3D RGB Frame Noise Reduction
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.
AXIS (Advanced Pixel Interpolation System)
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.
Digital Signal Processing
Unique Panasonic digital signal processing technologies deliver true-to-life detail and colour, with whiter whites, deeper blacks, and superb rendering of fine details such as individual strands of hair.
2.3 Megapixel Still Picture
Leica's superior image rendering
Leica Dicomar Lens |
GS200 GS120 |
The advanced optical technology that makes Leica Camera AG a legend in the camera world is fully reflected in the 12-element,
multi-coated Leica Dicomar lens. This superb lens system eliminates unwanted reflections and reduces the flaring and ghosts that can distort images. It gives sharp definition even to the darker parts of an image, so the entire picture is clear.
With its crisp detail, subtle rendering, and smooth, natural imaging — all Leica hallmarks — this lens can take you to the limits of your visual imagination.

2.3 Megapixel Still Picture Recording |
GS200 |
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
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.
*The GS120 has 1.7-megapixel still picture recording.
