Key Features:

Designed with the aspiring film maker in mind, the Panasonic HDC-TM300 HD PAL Camcorder (Silver) gives you high end features and the flexibility of flash memory recording. First off, you can record full 1920 x 1080 high def video to the 32GB built-in memory with the option to store overflow footage to SD/SDHC memory cards. The camera's Relay Recording function ensures that you won't run out of space because it automatically switches recording from the built-in memory to SD/SDHC memory card when it's full, or vice versa. Capturing all that beautiful video would be the three 1/4.1" CMOS sensors which add up to total 9.15MP, named "3MOS", by Panasonic. The sensors also record 10.6MP stills and 8.3MP when recording both video and still images simultaneously.

Other features attractive to those looking to hone their video skills include microphone and headphone terminals, a must for getting high quality audio. In addition, an electronic viewfinder and manual control ring give you even more flexibility. Another plus would be compatibility with Mac for editing in iMovie. The HDC-TM300 rounds out its features with solid optics, including a Leica Dicomar lens, 12x optical zoom, and Advanced O.I.S.
