Panasonic 120GB high-definition hard drive/SD memory card camcorder with manual control ring
Model: HDC-HS300

Description: Record gorgeous high-def home movies exactly the way you want them with Panasonic's HDC-HS300. It uses a built-in 120-gigabyte hard drive to store up to 50 hours of high-def video and digital photos. A manual control ring on the lens barrel puts precise adjustments at your fingertips, allowing you to fine-tune your video footage. Most cams use a single image sensor, but this Panasonic employs one for each of the three primary colors. Your movies will glow with rich colors that'll bring your high-def videos to life. A precise Leica Dicomar lens gives you detailed 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 recording adds even more realism to your videos. The 'HS300 features a manual control ring on the barrel of the lens that lets you adjust the zoom, focus, and aperture, for creative, hands-on filming. It also comes with on-screen lighting assistance, so you can check the lighting in your images and make adjustments accordingly. A mic input and accessory shoe let you add compatible extras for even more professional results. Use an optional to connect this camcorder to your HDTV, and view your home movies in crystal-clear high definition. Minimize
