Next up are the SDR-H60 and SDR-H40, two hybrid camcorders, featuring SD card storage and either 60GB or 40GB hard disk capacities.
Both models feature face detection as seen in the most costly SD9 and HS9 models, and Panasonic's Advanced Mega OIS image stabilisation. The only significant difference between the two, aside from hard disk capacities, is optical zoom specifications. The H60 has a 50x optical zoom, while the H40 has a slightly reduced 42x.
Anti-shock technology is employed to protect the internal hard disks, making these camcorders much more suitable for sports filming or any shooting conditions where knocks and bumps are more likely to affect the cameras.
The H60 will be available in May this year for around $550 (£275), while the H40 will be available in January for around $450 (£225).
