Product Information
Students working on film projects will find the Panasonic AG-455 camcorder attractive. By modern standards the unit is clunky, weighing 5.95 lbs and spanning 5 x 9.5 x 18.5 inches. Nevertheless, the Panasonic AG-455 camcorder has many virtues for an older one-chip camera. For one, this Panasonic video camera has a hi-fi stereo audio output which rivals many later models. Furthermore, it records and plays in SVHS, a format introduced in the late 1980s as an improvement over VHS. One benefit of this mode is the higher luminance resolution over its VHS counterparts which affords better picture detail. With a handy S-Video output, this SVHS camcorder can record, play, and transfer over 400-line quality SVHS videos and over 250-line VHS videos. Additionally, this Panasonic video camera sports an array of manual controls, such as 12x optical zoom and variable speed control, which empower the operator to employ their skill during shootings. Finally, due to the higher bandwidth of this SVHS camcorder over its VHS predecessors it can pick up more analogue coding connections and signals, such as EIA (SCART) and NTSC which are commonly used worldwide. The Panasonic AG-455 camcorder is tailored for a niche operator who still prefers the manual sensitivity and vintage charm of analogue video images.Product Identifiers
