Had Ccd Color
How do you measure a 3 ccd camcorder's image sensor?
I'm looking to buy a new camcorder and I'm confused by the specs for image sensors.
For example, a Canon HV40 has a 1/2.7" sensor that's a SINGLE cmos sensor. In comparison, a Panasonic HD250 has a THREE ccd sensor that is 1/4.1".
Because it's 3 CCD, does that mean it's 1/4.1" multiplied by three (for each ccd)? [1/4.1" x 3 = 3/4" image sensor?]
Or does 3 CCD means three filters (for each color) not three sensors?
3 ccd means there are three discreet image sensors - one for each colour. Multiple chips (should) mean better colour fidelity while larger chips have better low-light / low-noise performance. It's all completely moot if you and your audience can't tell the difference (or don't care)!
