Best Solid-State Video Recorder for Low Light Use?
My father is a big hunter. He has a device to all a video camera to be attached to has bow so he can record the deer that walk past him. I’m looking at getting him a video camera that uses SD or other flash memory because they are very light weight.
What would you say is the best camera of this type for recording videos in low light. I can’t find anything with a feature like Sony’s Night Shot. What do you think?
do you not like the Sony? It is the best here is some info on it.
Among almost all CCD devices on sales, Sony’s Nightshot Camcorders have the highest sensitivity level for the NIR. To take a see-through picture with a Sony Nightshot Camcorder, you just need to attach the PF on the object lens after setting it on the Nightshot mode.
Switching to ‘Nightshot mode’ physically displaces the camcorder’s internal glass filter called “IR Cut Filter (ICF)”, which means that much more NIR light reaches the CCD. In-between the optical lens and the CCD, most camcorders have this special “ICF”. It is there to compensate the colorings and the tones of the information reaching the CCD by blocking the NIR and ultraviolet rays. Since the CCD is originally more sensitive to NIR rather than the visible rays, as shown at the graph below, it would be impossible to create a natural image on the viewfinder or LCD screen for the human eye without this ICF. However, this ICF, which blocks off the NIR, is the biggest obstacle in seeing-through and night viewing+.
Panasonic also makes a few of them.
There are some Panasonic camcorder models with a “Nightview” or “MagicVU” feature exactly like Sony’s “Nightshot” feature. These models are NV-VX37, NV-VX57, NV-VX87, PV-DV401, PV-DV601 etc. You can assume that these models work the same way as Sony’s old Nightshot models. good luck
