Released March, 2010
The Pros:Image quality is consistently high, everything clear and detailed. Capable of full 1080p HD recording at variable framerates. Good color saturation at default values without any adjustment.
The Cons:No file management available through a Mac, comes up as Read Only. Battery charger cannot be used as an AC adapter for the camera while charging batteries. USB file transfers are slow.
The Panasonic HDC-HS700 is one of two high-definition digital camcorders (HS700, TM700) announced in February 2010 as successors to Panasonic’s HS300/TM300 series. Both camcorders feature a 35mm wide-angle Leica lens, a 12x optical zoom, and SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card expansion.

More importantly, they support full 1080p high-definition video recording at 60fps, 60i, or 24p. The only difference between them is that the HS700 hosts a large 240GB internal hard-disc drive. The camcorder also supports 14.2MP still shots, 5.1-channel surround sound via five embedded microphones, and Power O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization), which utilizes gyro sensors to detect shaking and reduce blurring.
