June 17, 2008 – Panasonic appears to be returning to its roots today with two new HD camcorders that take a strong liking to celebrated MiniDV camcorders form its past. The HDC-HS100 ($1099.95 MSRP) and HDC-SD100 ($1299.95 MSRP) are upgrades, but not replacements, for the HDC-HS9 and DC-SD9. They retain a relatively small size, but add a full-size multi-function ring to the front, and a viewfinder to the back. For the first time, Panasonic will feature a three-CMOS imaging system, which is reported to increase sensitivity in low light. Both are expected to become available in September 2008.

The HDC-SD100 records full 1920 x 1080 video in the AVCHD format to SD and SDHC memory cards. The HDC-HS9 is similar, but adds a 60GB hard disk drive as a second recording option.

The new HDC-HS100 and HDC-SD100 feature a number of improvements over the previous generations of Panasonic HD camcorders. In addition to the 3-CMOS array, they include a new Leica Dicomar lens system, with 12 lenses in 9 groups. Panasonic reports that this adds a 30% increase in resolution and 20% increase in contrast. The aspheric lens has an aperture range of F/1.8 – 2.8. The optical zoom has also been increased from 10x to 12x.

In previous generations, Panasonic used either single or three-chip CCDs. The switch to CMOS is clearly a trend that manufacturers are following. Sony and Canon began installing CMOS chips in their HD camcorders for the last few years. Just this week, JVC announced that its upcoming Everio camcorders, the GZ-HD10, GZ-HD30, and GZ-HD40, would all make the switch from CCD to CMOS. The new CMOS chips in the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 measure 1/6-inch and have gross pixel count of 560,000 (effective pixel count of 520,00).

To round out the imaging system overhaul, the new camcorders are also equipped with the new HD Crystal Engine II processor, with an improved input level of 300%, which improves the ability to prevent blowouts while still retaining detail in the shadows.
