Editorial reviews:

The Panasonic AG-HMC70 Professional 3-CCD AVCHD Shoulder-Mount Camcorder provides entry-level professionals with an easy-to-use, high quality, solid-state HD recording solution. As the first shoulder-mount camcorder in Panasonic's professional AVCHD line-up, the HMC70 utilizes the new AVCHD High Profile video codec, which offers similar image quality to HDV 1080i at about half the bandwidth. This second-generation, affordable HD format offers longer recording times and half the storage requirement of older systems. As easy to use as a digital camera, the HMC70 records onto standard SD/SDHC cards to assure a fast tapeless production workflow. It gives you fast access to content without fast forward or rewinding, and footage is immediately available to editing systems without the ingest delay and additional cost of a playback deck. On a 16GB SDHC memory card, the HMC70 can record over 2.6 hours at 13Mbps, the HMC70's highest quality mode, or up to 6 hours at 6Mbps on the camera's extended recording mode. Professional audio connection including two locking XLR inputs with switches for mic/line, +48V Phantom Power, Auto/Manual level, mic attenuation, and front/rear assignment HD component (Y/Pb/Pr BNC) connection to send live widescreen video to a projector or flat screen display Supported by leading NLE software that allows content to be edited and rendered to almost any format or media Weight - 6 pounds
