Canon 60 optura has a CCD resolution about 1,648,000, where as Panasonic GV 250 has a resolution of only 680,000. But Panasonic is 3CCD. So the total resolution of Panasonic is 3 * 680,000 or it each sensor has of resolution of only 680,000/3. In the above statement which is true?

Canon Optura 60 Vs. Panasonic PV-GS250

by ritwik Apr 22, 2005 2:43AM PDT

Canon has single CCD but higher resolution, Panasonic has 3 CCD but lower resolution but Canon usses an RGB filter so its color rendention is better than most single CCD camcorders. Optura 60 is better for night shot compared to Panasonic. So which one should a consumer go for if he is looking for great color and ability to shot great videos in low light conditions? 3 CCD panasonic or optura 60 with RGB filter and excellent night shot capability? Any inputs on this or any information related to this that would help in the decision would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
