Comments:
It's not high-def and it's a tad expensive, but the pocket-friendly SDR-S150 is certainly a competent SD memory camcorder.

Review Verdict: Panasonic's SDR-S150 is a curious beast in today's camcorder market. It packs decent image quality into a very handy little package, but high definition camcorders are becoming increasingly affordable. For the time being, HD models using Flash Memory for

Apart from JVC, most manufacturers are backing recordable DVD as the next step for consumer video cameras. But Panasonic is taking another tack. Instead of the miniature hard disks used in JVC's Everios, the SDRS100 records to SD memory, with a decent-siz

Review Verdict: The SDRS100 performs impeccably when shooting video or stills, it's minuscule, and it looks exceptional. But then there's the price - Panasonic's own high-end NVGS400B three-CCD DV model costs less. If you're after a petite digital-imaging convergence gad

Panasonic SDR-S100 - Gadget Guy Australia

Comments:
You'd think with so many letters and numbers and possible combinations thereof - not to mention the probable audacious sneak looks at their rival's marketing plans - Panasonic (or Sony) would have picked a more distant model number from their competitor.

Review Verdict: The SDR-S100 is an enigma. It has all the major technically 'good bits' that a top-of-the-range camcorder should have - external mic access besides - but its reliance on an SD card and MPEG2 lets it down
