SD and SD High Capacity Memory Cards
In order to develop more compact and robust camcorders, Panasonic SD and SD High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Cards are a key element. By using these small-sized Memory Cards as recording media, Panasonic is able to achieve more powerful camcorders in a compact body, benefiting users by providing complete flexibility to take their camcorder with them where ever they go.

Panasonic SD and SDHC cards have a number of impressive benefits compared to other traditional media. Firstly, their small size and light weight enables Panasonic to develop camcorders that fit literally in the palm of your hand. Also, as they are flash memory cards, this means that they are more durable and shock-resistant as there are no small moving parts to get damaged or worn over time.

The capacity of Panasonic SDHC Memory Cards is continuing to grow. Panasonic has developed a 32GB card and is currently on the market. The 32GB Memory Card is able to store up to eight hours of Full High Definition (1920x1080) video content.

Additionally, Panasonic SDHC cards with the Class 6 speed specification enjoy a maximum data transfer speed of up to 20MB/second, making them absolutely ideal for AVCHD recording. AVCHD is the new HD recording standard for camcorders, jointly pioneered by Panasonic and Sony, which uses H.264 technology to achieve twice the compression of conventional MPEG2 and MPEG4 standards. Being a digital device the data reliability of SD and SDHC cards is superb and not easily subject to damage or data loss, like some other more traditional media.

Finally, Panasonic has made great efforts to enable products to interface seamlessly with them. For example, you can simply take the SDHC/SD Memory Card from the Panasonic HD camcorder and insert it into the SD card slot on a Panasonic VIERA flat screen HD TV*. You are ready to view your camcorder movies in Full HD quality, as recorded in the AVCHD format!

Panasonic continues to develop more compact and flexible camcorders that not only deliver superb picture quality but also gives you the convenience to take them anywhere!
