My 2 Cents

The videos below come in around 8 MB total so they may take a few moments to load. If you’re looking for samples of Low Light Video from Panasonic HDC-SD9 these should answer a lot of your questions. The first shows just how poor it can get if it’s too dark. The second actually looks pretty good. You decide.

The first video was taken with the following settings
HA1920
24P Digital Cinema on
Low Light Mode ON

The first video below was taken with My HDC-SD9 at approximately 8:30 pm on July 18th. It was not nearly as dark out as this video looks.

Neither the sun or moon was out at the time this video was taken. There was a slight amount of Ambient light from the street lights but it was not very bright at all.

This second video was taken a little earlier in the evening on July 5th. We were at the fair so there was quite a bit of ambient light.

The video was taken on a moving ferris wheel with Low Light mode and Image Stabilization on. I don’t really remember the rest of the settings. This one actually comes out much better.

UPDATE! The video now seems to play right in Firefox but the controls still don’t show. IE still seems to work just fine. If you have any trouble viewing this video please email me at ericg@gatewayconnections.net and I’ll be glad to help you out.

As promised here is the first of a few video samples from my Panasonic HDC-SD9 High Definition Video Camera I’ll be providing over the next day or so.

I’ll try to get a low light video sample up tonight.

This video was taken from the window of my car doing 40 MPH over a bridge and gives a stunning view of the river. The embedded video has a slightly reduced quality to make for easier downloading with the embedding but if you want to see the original full qualty video you can download the MPEG2 Video here.

The only sound with this video is the sound of the air rushing over the mic since it was taken at 40 MPH. I’ll try to add some sound to the other videos I take.
Firefox doesn’t seem to like my embedding. I’ll play around with it later. In the mean time if you have difficulty viewing the video you can download the reduced size AVI here.

I’m getting a descent amount of traffic to this site from search engines where people are specifically looking for video samples of the HDC-SD9 low light capabilities.

I don’t have any samples right now but I’ll try to take the camera out tonight and make some Low Light Video Samples for you.

Check back here in the next day or two and I’ll have something for you in MPEG2 format.
