Panasonic Launches HDC-SD10, HDC-TM10 HD Camcorders

Models HDC-SD10 ($550 suggested retail) and HDC-TM10 ($600) are both slated to ship to dealers in September. Both weigh in at half a pound and offer FullHD 1080p resolution and 16-times optical zoom magnification.

Both models also use SDHC/SD memory cards to capture recordings, but the step-up HDC-TM10 adds “Twin Memory,” meaning it also has 8GB of internal flash memory.

Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) in the zoom function is said to detect and correct for hand shake around 4,000 times per second for clear, stable zoom shots.

A new Active mode extends the hand-shake correction to compensate for bumps and jumps while walking or moving during shooting.

The TM10 will be available in black and silver models, with the SD10 in black only.
