Panasonic HC-V10
By Brian Jones
This new mid-range camcorder offering from Panasonic got quite the mixed reception. Overall, this is a fantastic camcorder. Great features like the 31.6mm wide angle lens and 63x optical zoom got thumbs way up. Other features Panasonic is known for like the Power Optical Image Stabilization and Intelligent Auto are present and work like a charm. While things like no full HD recording, low quality stills, and lack of touch-screen controls made left us wishing for more. The camcorder ships in May and will go for $249.99.
