Panasonic SDR-S150

It's not high-def and it's a tad expensive, but the pocket-friendly SDR-S150 is certainly a competent SD memory camcorder.

Panasonic SDR-S150EB-S

This camera compresses video using the MPEG2 (DVD quality) standard rather than the newer, more compact MPEG4.

Panasonic SDR-S150 review: Panasonic SDR-S150

Panasonic SDR-S150

Very compact for a 3CCD model; optical image stabilizer.

Mediocre video and barely usable stills; poor battery life; slow focus.

While compact and convenient, Panasonic's SD-based SDR-S150 camcorder doesn't make the quality cut.

Panasonic SDR-S150 Camcorder Review

The Panasonic SDR-S150 is Panasonic's update on the SDR-S100, a tiny SD card-based camcorder that manages to pack in three CCDs and a whole lot of image quality. But as far as updates go, this constitutes the bare minimum: SDHC-card compatibility and a...

Panasonic SDR-S150

However, the SDR-S150 did seem to have some issues with smooth motion. If you play back the footage through a digital connection, like the USB cable, the interlace fields become readily visible, and gives a jagged appearance to moving objects. We found...

Panasonic SDR-S150EB-S

Good video and stills quality in widescreen, compact and light. Can copy from SD card directly to Panny DVD recorder for easy editing without computer

Need to rotate a switch to change between stills/video and record/playback is a bit cumbersome. Need to select slideshow from menu each time to watch stills

Excellent compact SD camcorder!

I bought this about a month ago to replace my Sony DCR-TRV 900, which, as many of you know, was a great SD camcorder at the time, and still is a great SD camcorder. (I mean, for how many electronics product can you say that after 5+ years?) The reason...

1. Good video picture quality ; 2. Compact size ; 3. Recording medium: SD/SDHC Card ; 4. OIS ; 5. Recording format: MPEG-2 ; 6. Built-in lens cover & hood ; 7. Ergonomics ; 8. Webcam function ; 9. Shape - stands on it's "feet" well, i.e., stable ; 10....

1. Lack of external mic input (this is a bit surprising since it has a headphone output port) ; 2. 4GB is the max SD size it will accept (But this may not be a big issue since the battery life is only about 60 min anyway - 4GB records about 60 min...
