Product Description

The new SDR-S7 is a stylish model with an ultra-compact go-anywhere design. It offers a small size light weight and superb mobility made possible by SD/SDHC Memory Cards letting you shoot video with the same casual ease and carry-about convenience you enjoy with small digital still cameras. For occasions when in the past it may have seemed a bit awkward to pull out a camcorder such as on short outings or business trips the SDR-S7 is ideal.------The Quick Start function allows the S7 to begin recording just 0.6 seconds from the time the LCD is opened and this around a third of the time that it takes for a camcorder that records onto DVD discs to start making it easier to catch those special moments that come with no warning. All in clear MPEG2 DVD quality.------Convenient for travellers the new world timer function eliminates the need to manually reset the camcorder time when crossing time zones. Simply select your destination from the displayed map and the time is adjusted automatically. Time can be set for two different locations such as home and a destination. The user can switch between them by simply pressing a button.------Memory Cards provide an ideal combination of compactness impact resistance and extended recording capability making them one of the best-balanced media for the future. The 16GB SDHC Memory Card allows up to approx 13 hours 20 minutes in LP mode recording.

Customer Reviews

Great portable, compact camcorder
First camcorder that I've bought and it works great. Super compact size, very light and with an 8GB card you can get a couple of hours of storage. Unlike DV and tape camcorders, it is extremely simple to edit and merge clips on a PC or Mac. Most impressively it starts up in seconds and the sound is very good, even when zoomed in.

Compact and Affordable
Very good camera - small with lots of features - Picture quality is excellent and no tape-motor noise. Highly recommended for people looking for no-nonsense standard definition portability. (Although you may need a case.)

Absolutely brilliant!
I bought a Canon camcorder only 6 months ago and never really got on with it as it was not really small enough to fit in a pocket and only recorded for 30 minutes onto mini dvds so I decided to get this tiny Panasonic and it is FANTASTIC! I took it to Sri Lanka on my holiday and with an 8gb SDHC memory stick I recorded for over 4 hours. It is so light and small that you can take it anywhere, it is up and running in seconds, and by the end of the holiday everyone in the group was taking the model number and wanting to get one too. It was smaller than most people's digital still camera. The quality is great and with the digital zoom going up to 700x with a steady hand I could shoot fruit bats that the others could not even see at the top of a tree in the next field! You will definitely not regret buying one.
