Panasonic HDC-TM700K Hi-Def Camcorder 2010
Here it is a last, the Flagship HD Camcorder from Panasonic which everyone has been excited about, yet was slow to sell at first. Maybe it was disbelief at the amazing features on offer. Now that it’s starting to sell, it’s flying off the shelves as the 5 star written and video reviews start pouring in.

But, as with every camcorder, the HDC-TM700 is not without it’s faults, so let’s cut to the chase and deal with the shortcomings first, of which there are only two, those being the audio noise from the cooling fan, and the second one is the inability to edit in full 1920x1080p mode, but can this really be called a fault in the TM700? I think not!

Now we can maybe concentrate on the many positives of the TM700:
