World's thinnest digital camera (with a 28mm lens!)
World's lightest camcorder (with AVCRUD!)

Put enough qualifiers in the fine print, and you too can be the proud owner of a "world's first" something or other.

Still, spare a thought for the sods who have to write these press releases. Must be a pretty dispiriting job.

One thing that I like about this camcorder is that it bucks the trend by actually including an EVF. LCDs have come a long way, but they still are rendered nearly useless when you try to use them in daylight. Canon's consumer HD camcorders are awesome in nearly every aspect, except that they rarely have an EVF, and that is the deal breaker for anyone actually takes their camcorder outdoors, not to mention that the LCD is a battery hog.]]>May 20th 2009 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/
Better is h.264 or mp4 its easier to handle and burn.]]>May 20th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/
AVCHD is based on h.264 compression. It is the same codec and much higher quality than the older MPEG2 based HDV codec.]]>May 20th 2009 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/]]>May 20th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 9:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/
You want all those things? Less compression? Only 1 hour of recording? Manual controls? High quality? They have all been available in HDV camcorders for years.]]>May 20th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/
Frankly, I don't get the obsession (albeit by only a few folks) over 60p. If you want motion, use 50i/60i. If you want film-like, use 24p/30p. End of story. Why add even more standards just to get bragging rights? Most TVs won't be able to show it, most players won't be able to play it, most people won't even be able to edit it, etc. If you want out of spec, just go ahead and do something like 120p. Now that's something to brag about.]]>May 21st 2009 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://atxelectronics.com/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=241]]>May 20th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/May 20th 2009 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/panasonic-breaking-more-arbitrary-records-with-two-new-1080p24-c/]]>May 20th 2009 1:31PM
