Panasonic SDR-S100 Digital Camcorder
Panasonic is introducing the world’s smallest and lightest next-generation 3CCD video camera Panasonic SDR-S100 that records MPEG2. Being completely different from the MPEG4 recording cameras, the Panasonic SDR-S100 is a genuine video camera that records beautiful moving pictures in MPEG2, the same codec that DVD video cameras use. Combining Panasonic’s high quality video recording technology, long cultivated through the manufacturing of professional video camera into the technology of MPEG2 recording on the small semiconductor media, the Panasonic SDR-S100 stands out from conventional video cameras both in size and in ease of operation while preserving the picture quality.
For the recording process, Panasonic SDR-S100 incorporates 3CCD taken from the professional video camera because of its excellent colour reproductively at its core. Another key feature Optical Image Stabilizer, the LEICA DICOMAR Lens and high performance image processing LSI Crystal Engine are evolving around it to make Panasonic SDR-S100 boast the highest standard specifications. In addition, newly developed MPEG2 Engine exclusive for mobile appliances uses original algorithm to precisely detect the fast movements in the pictures, which generally MPEG2 is not good at searching, to enhance the Panasonic SDR-S100 MPEG2’s image quality a step higher.
Taking advantage of small semiconductor media SD Memory Card, Panasonic SDR-S100 realizes substantial downsizing to have a compact, stylish and portable design, alternative for a conventional video camera. Not only the size and design, but also toughness is another feature that Panasonic SDR-S100 boasts. Incorporating less mechanism in its body, Panasonic SDR-S100 is unflappable against shock to be stable and almost error-free in recording data. This is because the structure is mechanically-simplified which also contributes to realizing simple and easy operation and reduces the warm-up time as short as 1.5 sec. You’ll be surprised at Panasonic SDR-S100’s outstanding convenience even after shooting. Non-linear editing requires no cable connection if you use the PC with SD slot. Furthermore, when used with included USB 2.0 high-speed cable, you can upload the data in Panasonic SDR-S100 to the PC quickly, taking only one-fourth the time that a DVC requires and one-third that of a DVD video camera***. Of course the SD video camera requires no finalization process unlike DVD video camera. You can enjoy editing easily and watch it on your DVD player with family and friends again and again.
The Panasonic SDR-S100 works as the best tool to take your every day video shooting and offers total entertainment from recording to editing and playback like no other conventional video camera has done before.
