Panasonic HDC-HS350 HD Camcorder Announced AVCHD HDD HDC-HS350

Panasonic have unveiled their latest HDC Series camcorder, the Panasonic
HDC-HS350, which, apart from offering AVCHD support, offers Full HD
(1080p) resolution capture and comes with onboard HDD offering 240GB of
storage capacity - which, to put that into perspective, is enough to
record up to 30 hours of HD video or up to 100 hours of standard def
footage.

Capable of recording Full HD video as well as capturing 10.6 megapixel
stills thanks to its 3MOS sensor, the Panasonic HDC-HS350 boasts all the
features you'd expect from a high-end HD camcorder - such as facial
recognition, numerous scene modes inc. low light mode - as well as
pre-record capture which sees the HDC-HS350 capture 3 seconds of footage
prior to the record button being depressed (meaning you won't miss a
thing if either your reflexes are a little slow or you mind's not quite
as on the ball as you'd like), interval and slow-mo recording and Follow
Focus technology (whereby the HDC-HS350 will 'lock-on' to a moving
subject in order to keep it perfectly in focus automatically).

On and above recording directly to its integrated hard disk, the
Panasonic HDC-HS350 camcorder which, incidentally, boasts a particularly
impressive start up time of just a mere 1.9 seconds, can also save
stills and video captures to SDHC memory cards (allowing for up to 32GB
of additional capacity) whilst, in terms of sound support, you're
looking at 5.1 channel audio.
There's no official word from Panasonic at this juncture concerning
either the HDC-HS350's pricing or expected availability.
