Does anyone have a 3CCD camera?

[blind]

Just a question....

[iamflameboy]

no i havn't got 1.... why are you asking, are you thinking of getting 1?

[punkrock016]

i do











meh i wish :'(

[mikejl29]

I've got a few vx2000's and some gl2's lying around here somewhere....






*EDIT* "got" should be changed to "have been hoping to get"

Well Mike, I'll explain later on, but I think there might be a slim chance I could get one, I'm talking about some of those deals on ebay....

wot? i've herd of CCDtrvwoteva but not 3ccd

On our trip to ATL, our friend Mark let us bring his VX1000. The picture is so clear, blues are blue, greens are green, reds are reds. It's awsome, I am gonna dream about them now, lol.

my dad has one, but he doesn't let me use it. the frickin' thing cost like $3,000!!

That camera looks good now hmm I wonder if I could get one of those... Yes I can brb I gotta go sell my kidney :p anyway thats not going to happen... I don't even have a video camera... Well I think I should get one... And still that camera seems so nice...

[mikejl29]

Hey gohan, your dad has a vx?? HOLY CRAP thats wicked. My dad goes and buys all of these top of the line gadgets, but its all about trust... thats why I get to use his stuff all the time.

Sean you got to use a vx1k? I never knew that. I want a GL1. I got to try one for filming and it was wicked.

I want a super dooper 122Vx2ccd-100gx65 for my birthday lol. what the hell is a 3ccd?

A charge-coupled device (CCD) is a light-sensitive integrated circuit that stores and displays the data for an image in such a way that each pixel (picture element) in the image is converted into an electical charge the intensity of which is related to a color in the color spectrum. For a system supporting 65,535 colors, there will be a separate value for each color that can be stored and recovered. CCDs are now commonly included in digital still and video cameras. They are also used in astronomical telescopes, scanners, and bar code readers. The devices have also found use in machine vision for robots, in optical character recognition (OCR), in the processing of satellite photographs, and in the enhancement of radar images, especially in meteorology.
A CCD in a digital camera improves resolution compared with older technologies. Some digital cameras produce images having more than one million pixels, yet sell for under $1,000. The term megapixel has been coined in reference to such cameras. Sometimes a camera with an image of 1,024 by 768 pixels is given the label "megapixel," even though it technically falls short of the mark. Another asset of the CCD is its high degree of sensitivity. A good CCD can produce an image in extremely dim light, and its resolution does not deteriorate when the illumination intensity is low, as is the case with conventional cameras.

The CCD was invented in 1969 at Bell Labs, now part of Lucent Technologies, by George Smith and Willard Boyle.

So with 3 ccds, it seperates blue red and green onto each ccd, making the colour amazing.

Wow, that was deep did you wrote that or was it copied from other site? anywho I don't know too much about cameras so if its expesive and has good review I might like it :p

I was talking to Chris about them on the way down, he said his friend has a GL1(by the way, Chris is 27), and he doesn't like it. He said that it's good for inside filming, but he liked the colors more on the vx1k. We filmed 2 things with it, his 2 lines at the checkerboard and Dion's 10 stair 50-50.

Any one else?

[punkskater234]

Well when i got mine the guys at best buy are dumb said it was 3ccd but i know its only 2ccd, my schools got a 3ccd but its so crappy i was pretending to skate with it but its only got a veiw finder right next to the lens so it was hard to do

[blind]

2CCD? I thought there was only 1 CCD and 3 CCD.

[punkskater234]

i thought so too but when i was reading the book it said it was 2ccd and i was like thats weird

[punkskater234]

o crap i forgot my friend has a used cam i dont know what it is but i was wearing a red shirt the other day it came out blue i was like dude your cam f*** sucks he said welll its used
