3-CCD Mini DV Shoulder Mount Camcorder with XLR Audio Inputs and Infrared Nighttime Shooting Mode

The Panasonic AG-DVC60 is a 3-CCD professional Mini DV Camcorder with the advantage over tiny prosumer camcorders of its shoulder-mount design. Several developments in camcorder design make the DVC60 a formidable acquisition device for event or industrial videography or even special production requirements.

The camera has a high-quality lens with 16x optical zoom, from 4.1 mm wide all the way to 65.6 mm full telephoto. The digital zoom feature, 1.5x or 10x is designed to contribute the most minimal image degradation. The optical image stabilization system helps control subtle vibrations even at the lens longest telephoto range. The three 1/4-inch CCDs incorporate high signal-to-noise ratio for great dynamic range and low smear levels for shooting in very bright conditions. Gamma correction, to emulate some of the characteristics of film, is available for special looks like lower contrast for greater dark or bright details.

Almost unique in industrial or prosumer cameras is the DVC60's ability to capture images in total darkness with its infrared Nighttime Shooting Mode. The camera has been intelligently designed to combine true professional features into an easy to use and lightweight package for shooters of all experience levels.
