Digital camera reviews of Panasonic SDR-S10 Flash Memory Weatherproof Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (2GB Memory Card Included)

Digital camera Review: Incredible evolutionary camera
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this camera in late january 2008. I give two thumbs up for the toughest electronic 10mbit a second widescreen recording masterpiece I have ever encountered...and it is to an SDHC card as fast as 10mbit seems.8gb class 6 highly recommended. As of now the "transcend" version claims 11mbit write, and true reviews make it a choice until more brands and prices continue to drop for sdhc. This camera uses every bit of it. I will not go for the 4GB as listed in the panasonic manual. the 8gb seems to add to necessary bandwidth, even if it is large for its battery life (ac adapter for car and home does that problem good as well as spare batteries like all cameras). Also, my next still camerawill be a panasonic lumix, as the batteries and chargers are the same. I did not want too many functions in a vid camera claiming tough, and panasonic made a winner with this one.
Called anything but High definition (the vid is too small) the quality can make some so called cheaper hd with bigger picture, a shame in comparison.Pleasant surprise after getting codecs and the norm for mpeg2 on my pc to get the most out of it. WOW.
Add to that 55 minute recording time on one battery charge, I got the entire lunar eclipse into the umbral shadow in one shot. I have had it in -12F in the wind, 3 ice storms, rain, snow, fog at 33 degrees (oh the 3000 dollar hd camera loves that NOT),on a the dash bouncing around in a 500hp caterpillar diesel rig (EIS almost keeps up). then put it back in your pocket, to have no concerns if it falls out...unless you lose it.
I hope to get another..it seems the prices as of this feb29 2008 review is higher than what I just paid a month ago. My other choice was a cheap HD and gave that up considering where I live (they are for the dainty, no doubt, with a big wallett to spare as well...) No regrets what-so-ever. 5 stars truthfully. I hope panasonic continues this train of thought with future cameras like it (the all waterproof for example). I have never had a camera survive in a single winter where I live. This seems justice deserved for folks in my situation...HD in the same package will be a sight to see, I hope.

Summary of Panasonic SDR-S10 Flash Memory Weatherproof Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (2GB Memory Card Included)

The SDR-S10 Rugged, Water-resistant SD Palmcorder Camcorder has 10x Optical Zoom and Quick Start-up, records to SD Memory Card. The SDR-S10 begins recording in just 1.7 seconds from the time the LCD screen is opened. Shooting video is easier and more convenient with a SD/SDHC Memory Card. With an ability to stand up to rough environmental conditions, you can record just about anywhere. A water-resistant design lets you use this camcorder even when it's rainy, snowy or in places you never dared take a camcorder before. The SDR-S10 is also designed so you can hold and operate it even when your hand is wet. This is our toughest camcorder yet, designed to resist damage even if dropped from a height of up to four feet. The outer body casing is fortified, making it thicker to improve rigidity and strength. An intermediate resin chassis cushions and protects the main circuit board and lens.
