Times change and technology as well. One of the main problems in the audiovisual issue as technology advances. Since long time we were dragging the burden of our PAL format video camera and now it is known that there is no screen TFT / LCD / LED which is not in FullHD 1080p.
The difference is striking and issuing resolutions on a screen full HD video in PAL format, sings a lot. To start the resolution is 5 times more and the native format in PAL is 4:3, while in full HD is 16:9. So, now has the terrible pain in our pockets, because yes, it’s not a cheap toy, we decided to change the video camera. The previous camera, a Canon XM2, although he has given us excellent results, it was a burden to meet the existing projects and jobs. People are now asking for more and more quality, not without reason. It was not easy choosing the camera and for some time been discussing whether a proper focus on video, as we had, but more professional, or jump into the HDSLR, bone, SLR camera with interchangeable lenses that give the look so cinematic.
Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Video cameras allow usability and very good handling in all circumstances, we, who are all-terrain, but with the disadvantage of fixed optics. What you have is what you get and save a supplement, you can not ask for more. The SLR on the other hand have a much larger sensor than a video, which lets in more light already, and more ability to blur, which gives the film-like look. They also allow the objectives you want to use. As defects be uncomfortable handling a camera, not video.
The limited duration of the recordings. No more than 12 minutes as I recall, which was an impediment to record clips of long duration, such as a musical or play. And no, it is not intended to take in hand and plan to go shooting in ‘street’. Complemtentos necessarily need to take a male support. That at least. Fortunately, in 2010, Panasonic took a hybrid camera market between the two, that is, management and usability as a video and performance and quality as a reflex, bone, larger sensor and sharing goals.
Besides that, among other things allows you to record high quality sound directly connect microphones to the camera with an SLR which is necessary to adapt a sound recorder, since the quality of sound in a HDSLR is bad enough, for now. The camera in question is the Panasonic AG AF100 and this itself is a professional camera, from below, but professional. Not for nothing has been admitted by the BBC for the documentary record, which is something. was out the camera and say “This is ours,” but it was not an easy decision to buy it because hardly anyone had it and was very little independent information and videos that trust.
Finally after a few months of his presentation at fairs and pressured by work in jobs that required FullHD, we hit the pool and bought it. After a few weeks of use, our assessment of the camera is very good, in fact we are thrilled with the results. From our point of view, the image quality is very good and the objective to acquire along with the camera gives a perfect size for most projects. It is a Lumix G 14-140mm. F4.0 / 5.8, a road designed for HD recording. Talking about the technical features of the camera may be long and boring (according to who), but I can say is outstanding as the management of all controls. All perfectly placed for quick use. As evidence we show a sample video we took on location, although not in its maximum resolution, you can see the quality of the image.
