Canon Optura 60 Vs. 3CCD Camcorders

by ritwik Apr 22, 2005 5:09AM PDT

Is there a significant difference in color between canon optura 60 which uses a RGB filter and Panasonic PV-GS250? Optura 60 is more appealing because of its better low light shooting capability but I dont want to compromise on the video quality. Comments/Inputs?

Thanks

Some flimsy info

Op60 has true 16:9, manual audio gain/meter, 14x, zoom mini light. It just sounds like such a well rounded cam.

I have been searching for the same information as you and have not yet received a good answer. Saw some bad news about the Op60...You might want to read some comments going on at this site;

The 3CCD will give better color the cost of this better color is the reduced low light capability.
If your going to be doing a lot of low light then get a camera the has good low lght specs. Also the bigger the optical zoom the better. John
