Panasonic prices LUMIX FH7, new Xactis, HD camcorders



Panasonic has confirmed pricing details for its latest digital camera and camcorder range, including the LUMIX FH7 with the company’s bizarre Beauty Retouch mode that allows you to make anybody look like Dame Barbara Cartland. The FH7 will be $179.99 when it lands early in July, while the five new camcorders are priced from $169.99.

Cheapest is the HM-TA2, at $169.99, with Full HD MPEG-4 AVC recording, a 3-inch touchscreen, Night View Mode, integrated USB plug and webcam mode. The HMT-TA20 is $199.99, and adds 10 ft waterproofing, 5 ft drop resilience and dust protection.

Then there’s the HX-WA10, a $349.99 Xacti-style camcorder – which we’ve seen before, but with a higher price – that offers Full HD video, 10 ft waterproofing, 16-megapixel stills (or 2-megapixel stills while simultaneously recording video) and a 5x optical zoom. The $279.99 HX-DC10 has the same core specs but is not waterproof, while the $199.99 HX-DC1 shoots 14-megapixel stills.

The WA10 and DC10 both have Backside Illumination sensors for improved low-light performance. All five will go on sale in July 2011.
