Panasonic SDR-S26 Flash Memory Camcorder With SD Card Slot - Black

Product Information

In addition to these Power LCD options, you can also adjust the brightness and color levels on the LCD—each with a range of increments from -16 to +16. Unlike video cameras that use DVDs, Mini DV tapes or hard-disk drives, the removable flash memory card means there are no moving parts to bulk up the recording mechanism. The Canon FS200, for example, has a mic and headphone jack, as well as an audio level display option (but no manual control over the audio levels).

It has AV-out and DC-input terminals on its back side, both located behind a plastic door that flips up. These numbers are similar to what we recorded on the Sony DCR-SX60 and Samsung SMX-F34, while the JVC GZ-MG670 had better color accuracy than the rest of the set. To access manual controls like shutter speed, focus, and aperture, you must press the manual button inside the LCD cavity. The joystick is used to maneuver between tabs on the menu as well as adjust controls, which makes for a very confusing user experience.The SDR-S26 supports MPEG2 video formats, providing compatibility with various playback devices and editing software.

Auto focus does work fairly quickly, however, but the snap-like system doesn't give the focus a very smooth quality. Remember, however, adjusting the color or brightness of the LCD doesn't mean the resulting video will look any different.The images from the S26 and SX60 are both fuzzy and faded, while the MG670 and F34 retained a good amount of color and detail in low light.

Besides, the S26 records SD video, so the image probably won't be sharp enough to see blemishes anyway. This adds an extra layer of jog-resistance on top of the standard OIS, although you can revert to the latter if you want. We're disappointed, however, that Panasonic didn't include any slow shutter speeds that can be set manually.
