Panasonic camcorder supports SDHC media

It’s a solid state kind of world, pure and simple. So really, it should be no shock that Panasonic has decided to drop DV Tape and move over to SD!

The new SDR-S150 is an update of the SDR-S100 camcorder which records to SD card, rather than DV tape, hard disk, or DVD.

The SDR-S100 uses conventional SD media which has a maximum capacity of 2GB, while the SDR-S150 supports both SD and the brand new SDHC (SD High-Capacity) card.

SDHC is the same physical size as SD but meets the new SD specification version 2.00.

Current SD cards comply with Version 1.01 and Version 1.10 and use either the FAT12 or FAT16 file system but Version 2.0 uses FAT32, just like Windows 98. This latest specification was established to meet the growing demand for HD (High Definition) video and high-resolution image recording now used in many SD-enabled devices and supports cards up to 32GB in capacity….
