Panasonic Lumix ZS3 / TZ7 Test Chinatown, Los Angeles HD

Published 2009-07-23
iA Mode 720p AVCHD Lite & MJPEG mixed and some still shots. Put together in Final Cut Pro and converted to H.264 5000kbps 29.97fps AAC 44.1khz 128bit with Handbrake.

All pictures and videos are taken hand held, iso range from 80-400.

Pictures with vignette were taken with Nikon WC-E63 wide converter placed in front of the lens.

Although MJPEG video has more visible noise, Panasonic's AVCHD Lite produces a some what blotchy video (but very usable) . AVCHD record a lot better sound than MJPEG.

My conclusion is AVCHD all the way!
