Panasonic has announced two new high-definition camcorders that, at just half a pound, the company says are among the lightest on the plaenet…at least for full HD AVCHD camcorders as of today. Issues of weight (or lack of it) aside, the new HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 record 1,920 by 1,080-pixel high-definition video direct to SD/SDHC memory, and sport 16× optical zooms and optical image stabilization to make sure users get exactly the shot they want.
“We recognize that users are looking for camcorders that capture high-quality, high definition video, but they also want something lightweight that has advanced, yet easy-to-use functions,” said Panasonic Consumer Electronics’ senior product manager for imagine Chuck Kirkman, in a statement.
