Also there could be a difference between usa and europe version... I saw
that mentioned somewhere...

It seems USA version would use 60 fps and the Europe version would use 50
fps which would be odd ?!?

My monitor is 60 hz as far as I know... why would I want a 50 fps camcorder
?!??!?!? Weird...

The spec mentions 60p.

Pixmania does sell the panasonic camcorders but not it's flash cards...
kinda bummer but assuming other cards compatible then maybe these will work:

http://www.pixmania.nl/nl/nl/r/panasonic-32-gb-flash

They quite expensive too... 200+ euro bucks.

But the money I am saving by getting the panasonic can be spent on an
external 32 gb flash card.

Or maybe 2x 16 GB cards to spread the risk of damaging one a little bit.

Or maybe even 4x 8 GB cards to spread the risk even further... but then
recording might get shitty.

Though 8 GB should be enough for roughly 3 hours of full HD.

The battery life is roughly half that... so even with second battery... I
could then fully write it in roughly one go.

So maybe just two 8 GB cards necessary to save some money.

One for main use... one for backup ;)

Now I wonder if an extra battery can be purchased ;)

Hmm that seems to be a different model... a cheaper one...

It's the SD 700...

The model I read a review about... was a bit more expensive... the TM 700...

Gotta watch out for that ! ;) :)

If you wanna by a "perv" mode camera... (70x zoom) then now is probably the
time to do so... I thought about it a little bit... and I can see these
camera's and this technology getting banned for "privacy reasons". ;)

For now I think "politics" has not catched up to this technology
situation... and maybe not enough cases of "mis-use" and "abuse"... but that
might change after some scandals or so ;) =D

Bye,
Skybuck.

Wow... I wonder how it would be like using one of those 70x camera's from an
airplane and then filming the ground ?! ;) :)

Maybe somebody has already done it... me go search youtube ;) :)

Bye,
Skybuck ;) :)
