Panasonic SDR-S26 Flash Memory Camcorder with SD Card Slot – Red features a powerful 70x optical zoom combined with an advanced optical image stabilization system that corrects hand-shake around 4,000 times per second.
You can’t always be close to what you are shooting, so the new Panasonic 70x High Optical Zoom brings subjects closer than ever before. It gives you the power you need to take dramatic close-ups or get remarkable shots. But with long-distance zoom shots, even a tiny bit of hand shake has a huge effect on picture quality.
That’s where optical image stabilization comes in. Panasonic’s Advanced O.I.S. shifts a corrective lens as you shoot to help eliminate the effects of hand shake, so you get clear, sharp shots even at high zoom levels.
Helpful consumer’s review
This camera is fantastic, it is much better than i first expected, it is easy to use, the picture quality is amazing, and ok, it only shoots a still photograph at 0.3 mega pixel but the quality of the image is brilliant, and the camera has virtually infinite focus, i put the camera touching my hand, just allowing for light to get to it and it focused and took an amazingly detailed photo.
I was considering a HD camcorder but they are totally over rated. HD cameras are only good on still objects, when something is moving fast you can barely tell the difference. They show TOO much detail, more detail than the human eye can see (only in very close up situations) and it is really unsightly. Dont waste your money on a HD camera, you need a blu ray writer to make it worthwhie too.
Overall for the money this camera is perfect, the 70x optical zoom is….wow. There’s so much good stuff about this camera that it’s hard to put it all in this review.
It wont disappoint. Excellent picture, sound and speed. Plus it looks great in metallic red finish.
