Panasonic SDR-S71

Posted on by

A highly compact and lightweight camcorder, the SDR-S71 improves upon its predecessor the SDR-S50 by offering dedicated SD Card recording. SD Cards are readily available, fast and inexpensive, and accessible by nearly all modern computers for home video editing. The SDR-S71 also includes special features that allow you to produce high-quality movies with ease.

One of the highlights of the SDR-S71′s design is its powerful 70x optical zoom. Of course, with such a great zoom range, handshake becomes an issue. That’s why Advanced O.I.S. handshake stabilisation is included to give you a better image. Couple this with a 33mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle lens, iA focus technology and wind-noise cancellation, and you’ve got yourself a pretty powerful pocket DVC. In addition, the included software makes sharing your videos with your friends quick and easy. The SDR-S71 is an all-round performer.

Panasonic HDC-SD900 High-Definition Camcorder

Posted on by

Who knew that HD cameras could get this tiny? And 3D-capable, to boot? The HDC-SD900 is one of Panasonic’s most recent additions to the burgeoning field consumer HD camcorders. Boasting Panasonic’s high-sensitivity 3MOS image system, this little machine packs 11.49 million effective motion image pixels of excellence into its slender frame. What’s more, it uses SD cards!

Most interesting is the HDC-SD900′s ability to produce dynamic 3D content. With the optional VW-CLT1 3D conversion lens, you can produce high-definition 3D video on-the-fly, ready to play back on your 3D-capable TV system. Also featuring Panasonic’s iA image enhancement technology, a 3.5″ LCD touchscreen and HYBRID O.I.S. image stabiliser, the HDC-SD900 is hard to beat.

Camcorders and digital video cameras

Posted on by

Kirk’s Camera Supply doesn’t just deal in digital still cameras – we also stock a range of video cameras and accessories. Whatever your skill level, we carry a video camera that will suit your needs and budget. From families wishing to record those special moments, to film students producing high-quality homework, to professional moviemakers, we’ve got you covered.

Technology has progressed considerably since the days of the Super-8 camera, or even the humble Handycam. Full High-Definition (HD) video is now a reality, and is even included on several still cameras. Film and tape are no longer the media of choice, as hard disks, DVDs and flash memory provide greater storage and generally higher quality. Videos are now transferred digitally to computers where they can be edited in a non-linear fashion and kept safely on disk. The speed of the FireWire/IEEE 1394 interface means that video transfer is faster than ever.

Modern digital video cameras are exceptionally easy to use – it’s generally a case of ‘point and shoot’, and your memories are instantly recorded. A tripod is a very useful addition, especially with the advent of ‘video blogs’ where your thoughts are recorded, for example, during your travels, and posted online. Whatever project you have in mind, a digital video camera from us will suit it perfectly.

We carry an extensive range of digital video cameras and camcorders, as well as accessories to enhance your video experience. Caring for your camera, whether video or still, is important to ensure good results on every use. Come into Kirk’s Camera Supply, and find the video camera or accessories you’ve been looking for. Our expert staff are willing to assist you with your purchase.
