With this increase in noise, however, the PV-GS35 doesn’t suffer much color information loss. It suffers an increase in grain when exposed to 60 lux light levels (down from 3000 lux). The PV-GS35 has the same chip as last year’s PV-GS15 and performs similarly. In 4:3 mode, the PV-GS35 gave us approximately 268.9 lines of vertical resolution, with approximately 284.81 lines of horizontal resolution, yielding a real resolution of 76,582.72 (322.9 vertical lines and 263.4 horizontal lines in Cinema mode). With the PV-GS35, we took some footage of a standard resolution chart at both 4:3 and 16:9 (cinema mode) and imported exported stills from this video into Imatest Imaging Software. Sony Unveils Action Cam, Three Camcorders at CES 2016 In order to further illuminate these differences and the general subtleties between camcorders, we test each camcorder’s ability to use as many pixels as possible to produce good, sharp images during video capture.

Often camcorder manufacturers will state CCD size, or CCD count, as sure signs of good video performance, but as we’ve seen in previous years, camcorders with identical CCD sizes, gross pixel counts, and effective pixel counts have performed differently. Generally, big CCDs, high effective pixel counts, and even higher gross pixel counts, let alone multiple CCDs, are auspicious, but not always.

There so many factors that go into getting good video from your camcorder that often it is hard to know whether any one factor is the reason for good or bad video performance. The PV-GS35 excels above average in other categories. There is no washing or blending together of colors that can sometimes happen at this light level, which is nice, and the spectrum is very decent for a 1 chip camcorder.

For a 1 chip camcorder, the PV-GS35 does okay at bright light levels.
