Super Compact 3CCD SD Video Camera with 4GB Storage Capability and MPEG2 Recording

Panasonic is pleased to introduce the SDR-S150 SD Video Camera. As with the S100, the S150 records onto a postage-sized SD memory card. The SD card has made it possible to create a video camera so small it can sit in your palm or slip into a pocket or handbag, it's a camcorder you can take anywhere and use anytime. But don't let the size fool you. The ultra-compact S150 is packed full of Panasonic's smartest digital technologies to give you clear, vivid true-to-life images every time you shoot. The S150 improves on its predecessor by accepting the new 4GB SDHC Memory Card, a next-generation media that allows recording for up to 3 hours and 20 minutes.

3CCD for Outstanding Results
The S150 packs a wealth of Panasonic's top image-enhancing technologies into a conveniently small, easy-to-handle body. The 3CCD camera system, the type used in most professional broadcast equipment delivers superb colour reproduction, finer detail and richer gradation which means image quality and impact is true to life when compared with conventional 1CCD camera systems.

MEGA O.I.S (Optical Image Stabiliser) Minimises Hand Shake
The SDR-S150 also incorporates Optical Image Stabiliser (O.I.S), a benefit generally reserved for prosumer cameras. O.I.S gives you crisp, clear shots in scenes where blurring used to be a problem, resulting in crisp, clear, beautiful moving pictures and still images.

The Leica Dicomar Len and Crystal Engine
Leica Camera AG is renowned by photographers world-wide as a maker of superb cameras and lenses. Now this legendary optical technology fuses with Panasonic's advanced digital technology in the Leica Dicomar Lens. The S150's brilliant new lens features 12 lens elements in 8 groups and uses low-dispersion optical glass to reduce chromatic aberration. A special multi-coating process is applied to 14 lens surfaces, minimising harmful reflections to deliver crisp, clear images free of flare and ghosting.
