Technology and Innovation

Both cameras have LCD screens and are available now.
The company has been busy and also rolled out a range of eight new MiniDV camcorders to accompany its still camera offerings. Pick of the pile is the NV-MX350 which comes with 3 x 570k CCDs for superior imaging, and a 10x optical Leica Dicomar Zoom lens. Prices will be announced imminently.
Other Panasonic goodies include an SD memory card slot, USB and DV-in/out sockets so you can copy your still pics and movies to your PC for editing. Bluetooth adaptability and the ability to send MPEG4 Video Mail movies complete the picture.

Sit the nervous nelly down while you park yourself next to the camera, and strike up a conversation. Ignore the camera and be informal, digital cameras. If this still doesn’t work, I always use my “Tape is Cheap and We Edit” speech: “Don’t worry about saying the wrong thing. I’ll cut out anything that doesn’t sound good; that’s what editing is for. In fact, you can say the same thing three times and I’ll just take the best one. Tape is cheap. There is no rush.”
