Panasonic has created AVCCAM, a line of next generation, affordable HD camcorders that offer incredible advantages over tape-based, MPEG-2 HDV systems. AVCCAM opens up a new world of creative possibilities for event videographers, schools, churches, website producers, law enforcement and much more. Four key benefits of AVCCAM are:
AVCCAM records amazing high definition video on the same reusable, widely available SD cards as your digital still camera. At 1080i, AVCCAM can offer four quality levels to extend your recording time or address your storage requirements.
As with your digital camera, the SD card can be inserted directly into your computer for editing, so there's no need to buy a special deck or waste time fast forwarding/rewinding or digitizing video into your computer.
Since there is no mechanical tape, hard disk drive or optical drive, our AVCCAM camcorders offer ultra-reliable, solid-state recording and are not subject to the wear, temperature sensitivity, shock and vibration of older systems.
Because the recordings are individual data files, not tape, they can be rapidly transferred to and played on affordable consumer display products available now and in the future. And, as memory card capacity increases and costs decrease, you can expand your recording time without replacing the camcorder.

AVCHD (AVCCAM is Panasonic's professional implementation of AVCHD) is an industry-standard format supported by more than 30 manufacturers and most editing software. And a key benefit of AVCCAM is that, unlike HDV, you can view your footage directly from the SD card in a growing number of highly-affordable HD video players, including Blu-ray players, Sony PlayStation 3, plasma displays, as well as PCs with AVCHD-compatible viewer software. If you don't have one of these players, you can transfer content into almost any format using editing software packages.

AVCCAM. Next generation affordable HD.
