"We expect that the new Full-HD 3MOS camcorders will be our best yet, with image quality that rivals professional video equipment and further advancements on last year's award-winning predecessors," said Chris Rice, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "The Panasonic camcorders not only have that added wow-factor - with 3D video shooting capability - but consumers can also capture amazing 2D videos, easily with our larger, more intuitive touchscreen".

With the Panasonic 3D camcorder lens, users can take video recording to the next level and record 3D images with Panasonic's new line of HD camcorders. Once recorded, consumers can play back the 3D images or video on a VIERA 3DTV, a compatible 3D TV, or through an AVCHD-compatible player / recorder, such as Panasonic's Blu-ray Disc player. The Panasonic HDC-HS900, HDC-TM900 and Panasonic HDC-SD800 camcorders also feature the large diameter (46mm) F1.5 Leica Dicomar Lens which produces brighter pictures and helps suppress ghosts and flare, while also minimizing distortion and degradation of contrast and resolution. In addition, its 35mm wide-angle capability makes it ideal for different shooting situations, such as self-portraits and group photos indoors, and landscape shots outdoors.

The new Panasonic HDC-TM900 and HDC-HS900 camcorders feature 3.5" LCDs, while the Panasonic HDC-SD800 camcorder features a 3.0" LCD. The Panasonic camcorders include a wide LCD screen and are now easier to use with advanced touch operation that allows for extremely smooth shooting and playback, with new touch operation functions like Touch Zoom (Swiftly zoom in or out by finger movement) and Touch Shutter (Automatically focus and take a photo by touching the subject on the screen).

 

 

Panasonic camcorders support SDXC memory

All three Panasonic camcorders can record to SDXC / SDHC / SD memory cards, while the Panasonic HDC-TM900 camcorder also has 32GB of internal memory and the Panasonic HDC-HS900 has a 220GB hard disk drive for additional memory storage. At the heart of Panasonic's advanced processing system is the high-sensitivity 3MOS sensor with 7.59 million effective motion image pixels (2.53 megapixels x 3). The Panasonic camcorder sensor separates light received through the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - processing each independently for professional-like color quality, detail and gradation.

 

 

Panasonic camcorder features

The new Panasonic camcorders also feature the Crystal Engine PRO, which instantly processes the large amount of data that goes into full-HD quality for extremely clear, crisp motion images. The improved Crystal Engine PRO increases sensitivity and reduces noise by 45% compared to Panasonic's conventional camcorders, resulting in brighter pictures with minimal noise when shooting under low-light conditions. Intelligent resolution technology ensures sharp, beautifully colored motion images, while Intelligent Zoom enables high-powered 20x zooming, correcting the image degradation that occurs in ordinary digital zooming.
