Panasonic HDC-HS20 80GB Full HD Camcorder

Accessories
Features
Specifications

The entry-level HDC-HS20 80GB Full HD Camcorder from Panasonic gives you high definition recording at an affordable price. Whether you want to record all the moments of your baby's first few years or show off your intimidating skateboard skills, the HDC-HS20 has solid features and the flexibility of hard drive and SD/SDHC memory card recording, which lends well to Internet sharing. If you're looking to do a little more with your memories, take advantage of the HS20's compatibility with Mac for editing in iMovie.

You don't have to worry about not getting that once in a lifetime moment, either. The camera's Intelligent Auto (iA) mode takes the confusion out of recording by automatically adjusting for your specific situation with features such as Face Detection and Scene Detection. Other advanced features like the Leica Dicomar lens and 16x optical zoom give you an added edge.

The HDC-HS20 provides the quality of HD, and ease-of-use, at a manageable price.

• Full 1920 x 1080 HD Recording: The HDC-HS20 records in true 1920 x 1080 high definition, resulting in fine detail and high resolution - a must for viewing on any HDTV.

• Record to HDD and Flash Memory: Forget about bulky media - record to the 80GB hard disk drive in the HDC-HS20 or to external SD/SDHC flash memory cards.

• 1/6" CMOS Image Sensor: The 1/6" CMOS image sensor captures life-like high definition video (MPEG4) and still (JPEG) images.

• Leica Dicomar Lens & 16x Optical Zoom: The Lecia Dicomar lens boasts multi-coatings and 7 elements for clean images with natural color. 16x optical zoom brings far off subjects up close with little to no loss in image quality.

• 2.7" Wide LCD Display: The 2.7" wide LCD gives you a generous viewing surface on which to compose and playback video and stills.

• Digital Still Recording: The HDC-HS20 doubles as a digital still camera. Still images in the JPEG format easily upload to the Internet for sharing.

• Creative Control and Workflow Features
