New camera in da house
Posted on Thu 1 Mar 2007 at 12:27 PM PST. Filed under Hardware.
I got a new digital camera today, the Panasonic LX2. I love this camera because it is able to shoot 16:9 HD video (1280×720 at 15 fps). By default it’s configured to shoot EDTV video (848×480 at 30 fps). Right click the picture below to save and view the video I just shot in my messy office. I re-encoded it as MP4 at 1 Mbps (I kept the original resolution and fps). Pretty cool!

As high def cameras go the price isn’t that much different to the Sanyo VPC-HD1 flash camcorder (in the UK – and shortly to be replaced by the HD2 IIRC). I’m still holding off buying a high def camcorder until there are a few more on the market and the price drops.
Well, you are referring to camcorders, while this one is a actually a digicam that is able to shoot HD. For camcorders, I would go with Canon’s HV20, hands down. Best HD consumer camcorder model in the market today.
Messy messy.
Are those fish alive ?
Yes, my office is really messy. The floor is full of boxes with review hardware in them. There is only 1 fish left. Alive and kicking, it will outlive us all.
Nice.
Do you have a 1280×720 sample you could share?
720p video recording is at 15fps, so I didn’t bother yet. Although you could download this 720p sample from the same model camera.
