Panasonic will be releasing a new SDHC camcorder that seems to be a somewhat dumbed down version of the SC-X series previously released. The Panasonic SDR-S10 records footage to a removable SDHC card. It is shockproof and water-resistant for those “extreme” people out there. The camcorder itself is unremarkable, and I can’t imagine it will be comfortable to hold. the specs are not that impressive, either.
The Panasonic SDR-S10 features a 1/6″ CCD with 800k pixels. Only 400k are effective in 4:3 and 350k in 16:9. A 10x optical zoom and 2.7″ widescreen LCD also feature on the SDR-S10.
The SDR-S10 will ship with a 2GB card and will be available in the U.S. possibly in May.
This camcorder is very good for outside use
