Panasonic HM TA2 HD flash memory camcorder

Panasonic furthers the pocket camcorder revolution with their HM-TA1 Camcorder (Red). Along with being ultra-easy to operate, the HM-TA1 sets itself apart from the pack with the iFrame format. iFrame allows you to edit your movie clips in iMovie - which also means it's Mac compatible! iFrame is also PC compatible as well! In addition to iFrame, the MP4 format, which records both 1920 x 1080 HD and standard def video, allows for uploading and editing on a PC with the camera's built-in software.
The HM-TA1 can also be utilizeThe HM-TA2 Mobile Camcorder (Black) from Panasonic goes out of its way to make sure everything you need to record video, photos and audio fits snugly in one pocket. Like many ultra compact cameras in its class, the HM-TA2 can shoot up to Full-HD 1920 x 1080 video, giving you the highest possible image quality for large-screen HDTV display. Also standard is the TA2's Electrical Image Stabilization-or E.I.S.-to keep your handheld shots from getting too shaky. Add to that the ability to snap high-quality 5MP photos and you've got a solid and stylish electronic companion for capturing moments both big and small.

But where the TA2 comes into its own is in the details, starting with a large, bright 3" Touch Screen LCD that lets you easily compose and intuitively control, your shots. Use it vertically for shooting and horizontally for playing back from an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card (purchased separately). You can also shoot at night, using either the built-in LED video light or Night View mode-which lets you capture well-exposed images even in dimly lit environments. If self-portraits or rock-steady images are called for, the included mini tripod provides a sturdy foundation to shoot from.

Other fun additions include a trio of image effects-Sepia, Soft Skin and Monochrome-to reflect the content of what you're shooting or enhance the already high image quality. And if audio is all you need, then a separate function lets you record just that (in linear PCM stereo, no less). When it comes time to share your recordings with friends, a built-in USB terminal and HDMI port let you easily connect the camera to a computer for editing and uploading or to the nearest HDTV-to elicit every ooh and ahh your footage deserves.
