Panasonic's First Pocket-Sized HD Video Camera

Panasonic's HM-TA1 has a Flip like form factor and easily fits into a pocket. It can record full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels-video and 8 megapixel stills.

It features a 2.0" LCD monitor, Electrical Image Stabilization and 4x digital zoom.

It measures a mere 2.09 inch (w) x 0.70 inch (d) x 4.09 inch (h), and weighing just 0.25lb (with battery and SD card).

Its built-in USB terminal facilitates easy charging and uploads to video sharing sites such as YouTube and Facebook. When plugged in, it doubles as a web camera for use with video chat programs, such as Skype.

The TA1 also supports the Apple iFrame video format (960 x 540/30p), which is optimal for Mac users to import quickly and maintain small file sizes. When using iMovie, the iFrame video data in the video camera is the same format as the one that is used to edit.

A wrist strap makes it easy to carry and facilitates spontaneous videos and still photography.

It has an easy-to-use design with single-function buttons like Power, Play, Record, Still Photo, LED Light (on/off) and Delete. In addition, there is a center keypad for selecting additional settings.

The TA1 includes a built-in LED light, which comes in handy when shooting in dimly-lit situations, such as indoors.

The Panasonic HM-TA1 will be available in three different color options, purple, dark grey and red in August 2010 with a suggested retail price of $169.95.
