Panasonic Handheld Camcorders
question about camcorder lens?
I have a panasonic vdr-d100 camcorder heres a link at amazon for spec details because i have no idea about cameras http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-VDR-D100-Camcorder-Optical-Zoom/dp/B000DZFUNO#moreAboutThisProduct
anyways i sometimes see these handheld camcorders with big box looking lens and i can only assume that they make the picture much better. im sure they come in different sizes and prices. so my question is, from looking at the specs on my camera, what kind/size of lens would be the cheapest to go with to actually make a difference on my home movies ?
thanks for the reply. you said you could not find one for my camera but it does infact have threads where it looks like you might be able to screw one on. if i can find one that will fit on there, is there a certian kind i need ? because i looked on ebay and they have 43mm 33mm ect..
The “big box looking lens” is only a box – it is called a “lens hood” and is meant to help keep light from the sides (left-right-top-bottom) that gets close to the camcorder and creating “lens flare”.
I don’t think there is a way to securely mount a lens hood on your camcorder… but now that you know what it is called, maybe you can search for one – I did, and found nothing for your camera…
