When zooming in around 500%, the difference between the two camcorders becomes more apparent. The GS250 showed significant blurring at the point where different color tiles meet. It’s refreshing after reviewing an onslaught of low-end camcorders where the picture always shows evidence of over-saturation.Ĭompared to last year’s PV-GS250, the GS300 seems to produce a sharper image. Every bit of the spectrum seems to receive equal treatment the reds are as strong as the blues as the yellows as the greens. This is, of course, what you should expect from the penultimate camcorder in a manufacturer’s line. Colors are sharply defined and the picture is beautifully crisp. At this light level, the picture from the PV-GS300 is very good. We test all of our camcorders at 3000 lux to determine the video performance. We’ll get around to testing that in the Wide Angle section below. The reduced effective pixel count is an early indicator that this camcorder does not produce true 16:9 video. This translates to an effective pixel count on 640K in 4:3 mode and 540K in 16:9 mode. The PV-GS300 packs three 1/6" CCDs with a gross pixel count of 800K.
