PR Newswire (US)
SECAUCUS, N.J., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Panasonic today
announces pricing for its compact High Definition models, the
HDC-TM55, HDC-HS60 and HDC-SD60, and its full-featured standard
definition camcorders, the SDR-H85, SDR-T50, SDR-S50. All six
models will be available in mid-March 2010. The Panasonic full-HD
camcorders will be available for suggested retail prices (SRP) of
$529.95 for the HDC-TM55; $699.95 for the HDC-HS60 and $499.95 for
the HDC-SD60. The three Panasonic HD camcorders feature a 35.7mm
wide-angle lens and a powerful 25x optical zoom. And with
Panasonic's new Intelligent Zoom feature, the new HD camcorders can
extend to a 35x zoom. Intelligent Zoom corrects image degradation
in ordinary digital zooming to deliver stunningly clear HD quality,
even with the zoom fully extended. All camcorders record to
SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Cards, while the HDC-TM55 also has 8 GB* of
internal memory and the HDC-HS60 has a Hard Disk Drive that holds
up to 120 GB. Panasonic's standard definition camcorders will have
SRPs of $349.95 for the SDR-H85; $269.95 for the SDR-T50; and
$249.95 for the SDR-S50. These camcorders may be small in size, but
they have impressive features: a 33mm wide-angle and a long,
powerful 78x ultra zoom - giving them remarkable range for
capturing video both far and wide. Panasonic's new camcorder models
are packed with enhanced features to help make shooting quality
video easy, including the new Active mode for the Advanced O.I.S.
(Optical Image Stabilizer), helping to suppress blur even if the
user is moving and when the long zooms are extended. Like the HD
camcorder models, these models all record to SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory
Cards. Additionally, the SDR-H85 has an 80 GB hard disk drive, and
the SDR-T50 has 4 GB of built-in memory. For more information on
