Panasonic HC-V100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder, 1/5.8" CMOS Sensor, 2.7" LCD Display, 34x Optical Zoom, USB 2.0, Mini HDMI, Black

The Panasonic HC-V100 High Definition Camcorder (Black) gets you out and recording HD video right now: just charge the battery and pop in an SD, SDHC or SDXC memory card and you're ready to start shooting. Full high definition video, long telephoto 34x zoom range and very compact form (2.1 x 2.4 x 4.5") make this HD camcorder irresistible. And you can keep shooting for a long time--the HC-V100 gives you up to 155 minutes of continuous recording time.

Power O.I.S. with Active mode is a high-quality optical hand-shake compensation function that's necessary for compact, lightweight camcorders. Because they're optical systems, there's no image degradation--original image quality captured by the lens remains intact, all the way from wide-angle to the longest telephoto zoom. The 32.5mm (equivalent in 35mm format) wide-angle lens is ideal for recording indoors or in tight spaces, especially when fitting both the subject and surrounding area into the frame. The wide-angle also produces beautiful images of wide landscapes and allows you to fit large groups of people into the frame.

The HC-V100 provides lots of user-friendly shooting controls, too. Panasonic's Intelligent Auto takes the guesswork out of shooting just about any setting. iA automatically sets the camera for the situation--you can focus on the moment without fussing with camera controls. Other features like Intelligent Scene Selector and Face Detection help you to record great video, without going to film school.

High definition video gives you vivid, lifelike, detailed images. It's also a format that will be compatible with computer systems for years to come. And, the high definition video recorded with the HC-V100 will look great on your HDTV, where every minute detail shows.
