When the built-in memory gets full, the camcorder automatically starts recording video onto the SD card. Video recorded on both media formats can then be merged within the camcorder and stored onto an SD/SDHC memory card.

What I love about these new HD camcorders – the price. The HDC-SD10 will be priced at $549.95 while the HDC-TM10 at $599.95. The TM10 will be available in black and silver while the SD10 will be available in black only. Both camcorders are expected in September of this yeawr.
