Not useful with current model Panasonic camcorders
|
Attracted by the low price ($20) I bought this set mainly for the wide angle converter. Unfortunately, it provides no benefit with my recently purchased Panasonic VDR-D210 camcorder.
The wide-angle converter itself intrudes into the picture beginning in the corners when the camcorder is set at the widest setting. By the time I get rid of the darkened corners, I have zoomed in to 2x which leaves me back where I started.
With a 32x zoom, the 2x tele converter is not really necessary but does it help? I found that the sharpness is degraded to the point that the camcorder occasionally has trouble focusing. I tried both automatic and manual focus in one test of zooming in on fine print. The loss of clarity made fine print hard to read. It was more readable without the tele-converter and using the digital zoom instead to get to the same 64x zoom level.
Maybe these would provide $20 of value with some other camcorder but I wish I hadn't spent the money. I don't know what price point below $200 would give satisfactory results. I would want to try anything else before I spent any more money on this type of product. |
