ProductCritic: Panasonic SDR-S150 Reviews

Laptop (88)

The biggest gripe about digital camcorders is the same problem users had with digital cameras just a few short years ago: getting files off the camera. With its SDR-S150 digital camcorder, Panasonic believes it has come up with a good answer: simply remove the memory card.

Even though a hoard of new High-Definition camcorders is poised to hit the high streets, Panasonic’s sticking with tried and true tech, revamping its previous three-CCD camcorder the S100 (T3 131, 3/5), with tighter specs.

The Panasonic SDR-S150 is Panasonic’s update on the SDR-S100, a tiny SD card-based camcorder that manages to pack in three CCDs and a whole lot of image quality. But as far as updates go, this constitutes the bare minimum: SDHC-card compatibility and a trifle increase in the LCD. A lot of things that could have been improved, like the enclosed battery design, were left untouched. Our opinion remains the same as last year: you’ll either consider a compact MPEG-2 camcorder, or you never will. If you find yourself in the former party, please read on. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

The Panasonic SDR-S150 has changed little since its appearance last year as the SDR-S100 – an ultra-compact camcorder that records to SD cards. We liked it back then; however, the user response was lukewarm and the competition has evolved. The hope was that the updated model would make the leap to HD. It did not. As it stands, the SDR-S150 has been outclassed by both JVC and Sony.
