Panasonic have announced their latest HDD camcorder, the HCD-HS350. Packed with a 240GB hard-drive and using a 10.6-megapixel 3MOS sensor, the HCD-HS350 also sports an SDHC slot (content with up to 32GB cards) and 12x optical zoom; according to Panasonic, the HS350 can record more than 30 hours of Full HD video.
There’s also optical stabilization, which Panasonic claim is good enough to cut out shakes even at maximum zoom, and the HS350 can record at rates of up to 17Mbps in its highest quality mode. Alternatively, it can record over 40hrs or over 60hrs of 1920 x 1080 footage in 13Mbps or 9Mbps modes respectively.
Focusing uses the touchscreen preview display, tapping to select an object or person to be tracked, and there’s face and scene recognition, automatic low-light accommodation and 5.1 surround-sound recording. According to Panasonic, the HS350 will boot up in 1.9 seconds from powered-off, or 0.6 seconds from standby.
The Panasonic HDC-HS350 will arrive in Japan on July 25th; no word on pricing, nor when we might see it reach the US or Europe.

Panasonic have announced US pricing and availability for their HDC-SD10 and HDC-TM10 Full HD camcorders, which we first caught sight of last month. The two models are each described as “the world’s lightest HD camcorders”, as long as you’re only looking at AVCHD models anyway, and record in 1080p to SD/SDHC cards and, in the case of the TM10, an internal 8GB of flash storage.
In addition to HD there’s also an optical image stabilizer, 16x optical zoom and Face Detection. Both also have Intelligent Scene Selection and Pre-Rec, and are controlled by their flip-out touchscreen displays. There’s also AF/AE Tracking, which can ensure a moving subject is kept in focus.
Up to 32GB SDHC cards are supported, which in the case of the TM10 gives a total of 40GB capacity. The Panasonic HDC-SD10 will be priced at $549.95 while the HDC-TM10 will be priced at $599.95. Both will arrive in the US in September.
