Chris Davies, Sep 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

It's been a few months since Panasonic teased us with their Micro Four Thirds camcorder, the AF100, and they've only just got around to officially announcing the thing. The AF100 - or its AF105 Japanese sibling - can use standard DSLR and MFT lenses or, with an adapter, cinema and prime lenses, shooting up to 1080/24p 24Mbps video to a pair of SD/SDHC/SDXC cards.

JVC PICSIO GC-WP10 and GC-FM2 Review

Chris Davies, Sep 8th 2010 Discuss [1]

Point and shoot camcorders are a range under threat these days, as cellphones up their video capture game. JVC’s latest PICSIO models show one approach to keep hold of the niche: throw in Full HD capture and, in the case of the GC-WP10, waterproof the casing. JVC sent over the PICSIO GC-WP10 along with its non-waterproof sibling the GC-FM2; check out the SlashGear review after the cut.

Toshiba Camileo S30 & P20 Unveiled, 1080p Recording in One Hand

Evan Selleck, Sep 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Having a camera small enough to hold in one hand comfortably, but pack enough recording power to make it worth your while isn't a new feat, but it is indeed something that we still look forward to. Not that there's plenty of options out there, mind you. But, when something like the Camileo S30 and P20 break cover, and look as attractive as they do, we can't help but get excited about the future of our 1080p recording endeavors. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Sep 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Samsung's HMX-T10 camcorder is certainly light and pocketable, but it sure does feel cheap. The company's new Full HD camcorder shoots 1080p to SD/SDHC memory cards and was announced at IFA 2010 this morning; in the hand, the plastics simply don't live up to the spec sheet. Read The Full Story

Panasonic HDC-TC750 3D camcorder hands-on

Chris Davies, Sep 1st 2010 Discuss [0]

Of all Panasonic’s 3D goodies today, the gadget we were most interested in was the HDC-TC750 camcorder with its optional VW-CLT1 3D lens. We grabbed some time with the camcorder after the company’s keynote, to see whether the first 3D HD consumer model really lived up to its top billing.

Panasonic focus on 3D: Viera GT20 & VT20 3D plasmas, 3D VOD service

Chris Davies, Sep 1st 2010 Discuss [0]

Panasonic's IFA 2010 press conference has just finished here in Berlin, and while we knew that the company would be concentrating heavily on 3D it was still surprising that they spent the whole time talking about their 3D home entertainment strategy. Top billing went to the Panasonic HDC-SDT750 HD camcorder complete with the WV-CLT1 3D adapter lens, but there are also two new Viera 3D plasma HDTV ranges, plus news regarding the company's 3D content plans including games and video-on-demand.

Canon XF100 and XF105 Announced, Due Early 2011

Evan Selleck, Aug 31st 2010 Discuss [6]

As far as cameras and camcorders go, there seems to be a hard push for the consumer market. Of course, consumers buy things, so if you can shove all your HD recording into a small package, why not market it to the mainstream market, right? Canon doesn't want to forget about the "prosumer," let alone the professional market, and that's exactly why they've brought the XF100 and XF105 into the limelight for a few minutes here. All of the great tech found in a big, shoulder camera, but without all of that big, shoulder mounted necessity. Read The Full Story

Thanko HDDV-506 Camcorder Features Swivel Lens

Evan Selleck, Aug 30th 2010 Discuss [0]

Fortunately for cameras and camcorders out there, the price tag doesn't necessarily mean you're getting terrible features, if you're not finding yourself paying a month's paycheck in one sitting. For example, while it may not be the most attractive, or have plenty of features that may shove it to the top of the hill, but it's not terrible, either. Plus, it's got a swiveling lens -- how cool is that, right? Read The Full Story

Kodak PLAYTOUCH point-&-shoot 1080p camcorder outed

Chris Davies, Aug 23rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Forgive us, Kodak, but calling your new PLAYTOUCH video camera makes it sound like a bra. If you can get past the daft name, the PLAYTOUCH seems a decent little pocket camcorder, with a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen, on-device editing and Full HD 1080p recording. Read The Full Story
