Leave it to Panasonic to
yet again stake claim on a "world's" achievement that generally isn't on our radar. The company is again claiming it offers the world's lightest HD camcorder, this time the HDC-TM35, sporting 1080i recording and hybrid image stabilization that allows you to "vigorously shake the rock" according to the infallibly auto-translated press release. It weighs just 185g, about the same as a
BlackBerry Storm2 and 42 grams lighter than it's predecessor, the HDC-TM30. According to that release, the cam intended for a female audience, who hopefully like white, violet, gold, or gray (shown after the break). Storage is to
SDXC and videos are recorded in AVCHD format, which should give you plenty of room on that card to keep on filming until your arm gets tired. Panasonic isn't announcing an official price, but it'll be hitting Japanese boutiques on July 1.

Why still only 1080i on many camcorders??? I have a panasonic that is a couple of years old at least, and that sported 1080i as well.
@tosvus I am boycotting purchasing a new camcorder until we can get some damn 1080p recording. This is such bullshit. 1080i looks like shit and it shouldn't even be an option. I would rather have 720p.
@lakersin2025
only the high end models have 1080p. I guess in a couple of years 1080p will trickle down to the mid-range models like this one.
EVERY TIME SOMEONE MAKES A CAMCORDER RECORDING INTERLACED VIDEO GOD KILLS A PUPPY! /shiftcruise
im lady friendly.
@TjK I want to uprank you so bad, but your picture is missing with my head. argh.
@TjK
Nah, the ladies like capitalization and punctuation.
like i care if it is 50 grams lighter than others. show me what you can do instead of bragging about how much you weigh
"Lady-friendly" Really?
Thanks this blog is really, nice finally a decent technology blog where I can add more electronics to my site www.techtwurl.com that are on the market. Subscribed!
Anyone recommend a water proof hi-def camcorder? The only two I can find much about (sany xacti something or other) and a kodak "sport" something or other have a fair share of poor reviews.
All the ladies I know balk at anything over 186 grams.
You think those purses are heavy? They're made to look heavy, but aside from the sunglasses, wallet, picture folder, diary, six lipsticks, four compacts, floss, Qtips, hard copy address book, checkbook, mirror, cell phone, .357 and mystery pads, they're light as a feather.
Does it vibrate?
