Panasonic expanded its High Definition suite of products, with the announcement of two new full-HD camcorders, the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100, the world’s first AVCHD camcorders with a 3MOS system are newly developed by Panasonic and based on the company’s 3CCD technology which provides superb video image quality. Both Panasonic models will be available in September 2008 for manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of $1,099.95 for the HDC-SD100 and $1,299.95 for the HDC-HS100. 

Compared with a conventional 1MOS, Panasonic’s new 3MOS system captures more vibrant, true-to-life colors, greater detail and richer gradation. This high-precision imaging element is first in the world to shoot in lighting as low as 2 lux and helps the SD100 and HS100 capture exceptionally clear, bright images. 
 
The HDC-SD100 records to SD Memory Card, and comes packaged with a 8GB SDHC Memory Card as a standard accessory, while the hybrid HDC-HS100 records to both SD Memory Card and to its internal 60 GB* hard drive.  Both models include manual functions for the user wanting more precise control over zoom, focus, iris, shutter speed and white balance.  The models also include Panasonic’s new Intelligent Auto (iA) mode. Both new AVCHD Panasonic camcorders feature 3MOS sensor, a 2.7 inch screen, 12x optical zoom, 5.1 Channel surround sound recording, and HDMI. Both camcorders come packaged with HD Writer 2.6 software for Windows, and also support iMovie ‘08 for Apple.
