Panasonic 80GB high-definition hard drive/SD memory card camcorder
Model: HDC-HS20
Description: Record gorgeous high-definition home movies that'll look and sound great on your home theater system with Panasonic's HDC-HS20. It uses a built-in 80-gigabyte hard drive to store up to 33 hours of high-def footage and digital photos. And thanks to a host of automatic controls, this cam makes filming easy for beginners.
A 1.17-megapixel image sensor and precise Leica Dicomar lens work together to record your movies in vibrant, true-to-life colors. Shoot widescreen video and still photos that'll perfectly match the shape of your HDTV's screen without stretching or distorting the picture. Optical image stabilization helps keep your videos and photos steady by moving the lens elements to correct for camera shake caused by an unsteady hand. And a built-in zoom microphone with Dolby? Digital surround sound adds even more realism to your videos.
The touchpanel LCD makes it easy to search through the menus and activate the 'HS20's controls, like turning on the built-in video light or photo flash for dim environments. Let Panasonic's intelligent auto mode adjust the settings ? like activating the face detection function or adjusting the contrast control ? to help you get the best video or still photos in any situation. You can also use the AF Tracking feature, which "locks" on and follows a moving subject to ensure optimal focusing and exposure.
Use an optional to connect this camcorder to your HDTV, and view your home movies in crystal-clear high definition.
