The high definition camcorder to beat in 2010?
First 1080/50p-capable camcorder ; High quality 35mm lens ; Excellent video quality
Expensive
Overall, the HDC-TM700 produces a killer combination of consummate manual control and best-of-breed image quality. And with a price already similar to the outgoing models, you should look no further than this if you're in the market for a top-end HD...

One of the least expensive and most compact camcorders available with a full manual feature set and electronic viewfinder, plus a 1080/60p recording mode, the Panasonic HDC-TM700 presents an attractive option for users dissatisfied by the quality and...
Very good low-light video quality; full set of manual features; 1080/60p recording option.
Smallish, low-resolution LCD; coarse EVF; some edge artifacts in video; middling still photo quality.
The flash-based Panasonic HDC-TM700 and its hard-disk sibling, the HDC-HS700, stand out for their low-light video quality and broad set of manual controls. However, while the TM700 is very attractively priced for its class, the HS700 is not, and not...

The Panasonic HDC-TM700 (MSRP $999) is the hotly anticipated successor to last year's HDC-TM300-our pick for
We are very impressed with the Panasonic HDC-TM700 (MSRP $999), and the camcorder appears to be in prime position to capture our coveted year-end awards-although we do still have a lot of 2010 camcorders to test from other manufacturers. So far,...
