Panasonic HDC-TM350 Full HD AVCHD 64 GB Digital Camcorder

When the Canon HF10,HF11 and HF100 camcorders are our favorites in the year 2008, Panasonic HDC-HS300 and TM300 have dominated the bill in the year 2009.While Panasonic has heard new things in store for the year 2010,the company clearly felt a “last hooray” for a generation that is in order.

Thus we have the HDC-TM350,TM300 renewed a limited edition. There are three main differences between the two models.First,TM350 benefit from cost reduction always flash memory,and now comes with 64 GB,not 32GB. This means it can hold more than 8.5 hours of shooting, even in settings of higher quality, which will be more than enough for even a long vacation.Records TM350 is anamorphic or Full HD 1440 x 1080 HD, depending on the quality mode, and the data rate remains above 17Mbits/sec.

Panasonic offers based AVCHD 24Mbits/sec in business models,such as AG-HMC151E,but did not bring this into the consumer line yet.Two other differences from TM300 less immediately obvious.Advanced OIS image stabilization has been deemed to have been improved so that the active mode is more efficient to overcome the effects cameraman walking.Active Mode is an additional OIS settings.

In automatic,you can choose between standard and OIS in the active mode, and in the manual, you can select or turn off the camcorder completely. We found the active mode to smooth the movement more effective than the basic settings, but it also seems slightly reduced image quality compared with the normal settings when used in displacement situations, which may be why Panasonic left the original mode is not available. Panasonic also claims to have set an image processor for better performance in low light increased slightly. This is not a specific area of inferiority before,however. [via trustedreviews]
