Panasonic SDR-S50 review
SD Card Camcorder with 78x Enhanced Zoom, Advanced OIS and 33mm wide-angle lensBuilding on the success of the multiple award-winning SDR-S26, the S50 offers SDXC, SDHC or SD Memory Card recording only, which allows a slimmer and more compact design. The S50 still manages to pack an Enhanced Optical 78x Zoom within its compact body, as well iA and the useful YouTube Uploader function.
Enjoy dramatic close-up with the enhanced Optical 78x ZoomThis compact camcorder features a powerful 70x optical zoom with an Enhanced Optical 78x zoom function that uses the effective area of the CCD to further extend their zooming power at the wide-angle setting. This makes it possible to capture beautiful images of sweeping landscapes and pull in distant subjects for truly dynamic close-ups.
Advanced O.I.S with Active Mode, keeps your movie steady when your hands are notHand-shake becomes increasingly noticeable with more powerful zooming, so an optical image stabilising function is essential for providing clear zoom shots without degradation. Advanced O.I.S. detects and corrects hand-shake and the addition of a new Active mode produces clear, blur-resistant images even when shooting while walking.
33mm wide-angle lens gets everything in the frameThe 33mm (35mm-lens equivalent) wide-angle setting is especially convenient when shooting video indoors or in tight spaces. It makes it possible to shoot at a close distance from the subject while fitting both the subject and the surrounding area into the frame. This has the added benefit of allowing the voice of the subject to be clearly recorded. The new wide-angle setting captures beautiful images of wide landscapes and allows large groups of people to fit into the frame.
iA (Intelligent Auto) with AF/AE Tracking does the thinking for youThe iA function includes an AF/AE Tracking feature that allows moving subjects to be recorded with optimal image quality. Intelligent Contrast Control automatically adjusts brightness to maintain the best possible contrast, has also been added to the five advanced functions from previous models. These features, including Face Detection, Advanced O.I.S and Intelligent Scene Selector, can be activated simply pressing the iA button.
SD/SDHC/SDXC Memory Card CompatibleUsing an SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card for recording media, the compact SDR-S50 is ideal for daily use. Its superb resistance to external impact combines to give this versatile camcorder easy portability for anytime, anywhere video fun.
