Welcome to the Full-High-Definition Age
When It Comes to Beauty, There's Simply No Match for Full-HD 
HD  images  contain  6  times  as  much  information  as 
standard images, and HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines 
to standard TV's 480. That means much higher resolution 
and much greater detail – which is why the world is steadily 
shifting to HD. Panasonic HD camcorders record 1920 x 
1080 full-HD images* – the highest level of HD quality 
there is. Viewed on an HDTV, the pictures are so sharp and 
clear that you can even distinguish textures. That's the kind 
of image quality you want when capturing special moments 
– the kind of moments that will only come once, but that you'll want to enjoy forever. When it comes to capturing beautiful images, an HD camcorder 
is the best choice. And when it comes to HD camcorders, there's no better choice than Panasonic.
