Panasonic's HDC-TM300 lets you record gorgeous high-def home movies exactly the way you want them. It also features 32-gigabytes of reliable built-in flash memory, for storing up to 12 hours of high-def video. And if you need more storage for movies and digital photos, you can easily add optional SD or SDHC™ memory cards. A manual control ring on the lens barrel puts precise adjustments at your fingertips, allowing you to fine-tune the look of your videos.
Three image sensors for vibrant home movies
Most cams use a single image sensor, but this Panasonic employs one for each of the three primary colors. Your movies will glow with rich colors that'll bring your high-def videos to life. A precise Leica Dicomar lens gives you detailed widescreen video and still photos that'll perfectly match the shape of your HDTV's screen without stretching or distorting the picture. Optical image stabilization helps keep your videos and photos steady by moving the lens elements to correct for camera shake caused by an unsteady hand. And a built-in zoom microphone with Dolby® Digital surround sound recording adds even more realism to your videos.
Dial in perfect shots with the manual control ring
The 'TM300 features a manual control ring on the barrel of the lens that lets you adjust the zoom, focus, and aperture, for creative, hands-on filming. It also comes with on-screen lighting assistance, so you can check the lighting in your images and make adjustments accordingly. A mic input and accessory shoe let you add compatible extras for even more professional results.
Use an optional mini-HDMI cable to connect this camcorder to your HDTV, and view your home movies in crystal-clear high definition.
