LaptopMag has posted a review of the Panasonic SDR-S100 digital camcorder here on their website. The SDR-S100 was the world’s first 3CCD SD based camcorder with the ability to record MPEG2 video directly onto SD memory cards. Other features include:

• Leica Dicomar lens
• 10x optical zoom
• Optical Image Stabilization
• 3.1 megapixel still pictures
• USB 2.0 support
• Measures 1.96 x 3.8 x 3.17 and weighs 0.52 lbs.

Unfortunately the SDR-S100 is one expensive beast of a camera – with prices at Amazon hovering around 1000 bucks. OUCH! Here’s the verdict:

If Panasonic can drop the SDR-S100’s price by four hundred dollars, the camera could begin to establish a profile as Panasonic’s tapeless leader. Until then, however, this high-end flash cam is merely a showpiece for gadget hounds.
