Panasonic HDC-HS100 review

The Panasonic HDC-HS100 ticks just about every box for a camcorder. It's compact but still grippable, while boasting a roomy hard drive. It sports a number of high-end features while still being a piece of cake to operate and benefitting from effective automatic modes. And, considering all the features, its price is right Read more

Panasonic HDC-SD5 review

Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is a 3CCD hi-def camcorder that records to flash memory. This makes it very small and light, but it manages to offer a high-resolution foldout screen. Intelligent contrast control makes for great quality high-definition footage Read more

Panasonic SDR-S7 review

Good things can come in small packages, and Panasonic's SDR-S7 camcorder certainly proves this point. This standard definition shooter uses flash-based memory to keep things tiny but still sports a huge LCD screen. With great portability and an affordable price tag, what's not to love? Read more

Panasonic SDR-SW20 review

The novelty of waterproof gadgets takes a long time to wear off and we'll never tire of drop-testing products, which is why the shock and water-proof Panasonic SDR-SW20 camcorder certainly has the fun factor. It looks great too and is highly affordable for holidaymakers Read more
