With the HDC-TM350, Panasonic presents another upper-class camcorder for full-HD video at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. From its dimensions to its equipment, the compact new model takes the multiple test-winning HDC-SD300 as its model and, like that camera, meets semi-professional requirements. Its 3MOS camera system, touchscreen operation, manual adjustment ring, iA with autofocus tracking and much more are joined by a large internal flash memory.
This provides 64 GB of storage capacity for up to 16 hours of full-HD video material. Videos can also be recorded on SDHC/SD memory cards. Thanks to innovative technologies such as the OIS image stabiliser with Active mode and improved signal processing for low-light recording, the HDC-TM350 gets the best from every shooting situation. With the new 16x HD D Zoom, the TM350 also extends its 12x optical zoom while maintaining convincing image quality.
