Panasonic rolls out new HD camcorders

Posted on Apr 3, 07 06:52 PM PDT

Panasonic has introduced successors to the 3CCD HDC-SC1 and HDC-DX1 high-definition camcorders by releasing the HDC-SC3 and HDC-DX3. This comes across as strange considering the predecessors were just launched last December. Let's get to the nitty gritty of things, where both SC3 and DX3 offer support for H.264 and can capture video at a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,080. While the capabilities are similar, it is the storage medium of choice that separates them as the SC3 stores video on SD cards while the DX3 opts for DVD discs. Both models will be released in Japan on April 25 with no plans for an international release yet. The SC3 and DX3 will retail for approximately $1,275 and $1,190 respectively.
