Review on 📹 Capturing High-Definition Memories: Panasonic HDC-HS300-S HHD HD Camcorder in Silver by Rod Evans

I've had this camera for about 2 months now and am very happy with it. This camera is really good in many ways: amazing picture quality, ultra-portable, lots of professional features and controls, quick and easy to use from the PC (unlike HDV camcorders like Canon's HV20, HV30, HV40 which still use tape and a slow acquisition process). I hesitated between buying this camera or the new Canon HV40 but ended up with the Panasonic HDC-HS300 as I really liked the image quality, I preferred not to mess with tapes and I really wanted the real focus ring, that the HDC has. -HS300 and Canon not. The only thing I don't like about this camera is that it doesn't have a native 24p mode. It has a 24p digital cinema mode that can be activated in the recording menu options, but it will work through a 60i shell (this is fairly common in camcorders). Это означает, что вы захотите удалить "вытягивание 2:3", вызванное процессом преобразования 24p, с помощью чего-то вроде Neo-Scene/Cineform (это программное обеспечение для Windows стоит около 100 долларов и является чрезвычайно эффективным — вам понадобится это программное обеспечение at any time). way if you have an AVCHD camera). However, I believe that Panasonic really should have included native 24p as a feature on this camera, it would have been easy enough for them to do so. Although overall it's a small price to pay for the great quality you can get from this camera, at a great price and with an improved workflow that allows recording to an internal hard drive or optional SD cards (also in 24p digital cinema mode). this camcorder). still looks great even though it's not true "native 24p"). Let me give you some quick tips on using this camera: Trying to directly edit the AVCHD .mts files created by this camera is a bad idea. . It takes up too much of your computer's resources and just isn't worth the extra headache. As experienced video professionals will tell you, AVCHD is a recording format not intended for direct editing. Instead, you should buy a copy of the Neo Scene software for around $100 and use the convert function to convert the .mts files to .avi files, and then edit the .avi files converted to movie form ( import the .avi files). files to your timeline). They work much better on your PC, and Cineform software is highly regarded by video professionals for its excellent quality and ease of editing. For those of you who only want to use this camera to record home videos or other personal things, you can easily save your video to SD cards (this camera can record either internal hard drive or SD cards) and then the footage directly view from the SD card on most Blu-ray players currently available. This is a very convenient way to record/watch home videos. This is a great feature that home video fans are sure to love. For those thinking about using this camera for independent filming, note that the lens barrel measures 43mm (the same size as Canon's popular HV HDV line of camcorders). . This means it's compatible with a wide variety of Tiffen filters, 35mm adapters like the Letus35 mini/Jag35, and other add-ons that are commonly available to connect a high quality consumer camcorder with more professional accessories. cameras. However, if you are considering the HDC-HS300 you may also consider the new Panasonic HMC40 which is also a new and basically the same camera but comes with some extras (24p, native and others) included but with a more professional feel. factor/body.
