Panasonic SDR-S7 Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Black)

Look! No tapes or discs. All camcorder images are recorded on a replaceable SD memory card, about the size of a postage stamp. That translates to a camcorder that's smaller and lighter than practically any camcorder you've used. Catch those shooting opportunities with this Panasonic SDR-S7K SD Card Camcorder. With its quick start-up time of 0.6 seconds from the time the LCD is opened, you'll be able to catch your baby's first walk, your favorite sports teams' win, or your pet's silly trick. Bring your subjects incredibly close with its 10x optical zoom and easily put your video onto DVD with the included video-editing software. And since it's so compact, you can take it anywhere.

Customer Review: Wish I'd never bought it! BAD customer service!
My computer would not recognize the files as movie files, and it took about 5 calls to customer service to get a straight answer. I have to purchase a converter now. I'm so frustrated that they couldn't give us an answer sooner! At the time this camera was purchased, advertising was VERY misleading. They said it would work with either a pc or a mac. It does not work with a mac. I would like to throw this camera at panasonic's head. The birth of my children is on this camera!!!!! Argh!!!!! I HATE THIS STUPID CAMERA!!!!!
Customer Review: Video camera
This is one sweet camera. It literally fits in your pocket. Consumer Reports rates it as one of it's top picks for value, as well.
