These 2 new camcorders weigh in at 227g. The HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 feature a 16x optical zoom, touch screen control, iA with AF tracking and Advanced O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer). The SD10 and TM10 differ only by their recording format – the SD10 records to a SD/SDHC Memory Card, while the TM10 offers 8GB built in memory and SD/SDHC Memory Card.
These new camcorders also feature a "Pre-Rec" function, which cleverly records three seconds of images into an internal buffer memory. Then, when the Record button is actually pressed, the three seconds immediately prior are added at the beginning of the clip being recorded. This is excellent if you're at a sports game a just miss a big play.
Both of these new camcorders are compatible with the VIERA Image Viewer, which lets the user play videos on a large screen by inserting a SDHC/SD Memory Card into the SD card slot of a Panasonic VIERA TV. If you've recorded something in AVCHD, then you can play your video recordings on a Panasonic Blu-ray player.
Currently, these new camcorders are slated for a June release in the UK at 529.99 Euro / US$721 / 69,348 Yen and 499.99 Euro / US$680 / 65,423 Yen. But expect to see a global launch soon after that.
