Product Description
Panasonic's Palmcorder PV-L452 contains both standard camcorder as well as PhotoShot built-in digital still camera capabilities. MagicPix Images feature lets you record full color still images when you're in extremely low light situations. Dual Digital Electronic Image Stabilization (D-EIS) feature compensates for unintentional hand and camcorder movement when recording. You can also use it in playback mode to help reduce jitter in previously recorded video. This camcorder is equipped with a lens capable of 20: 1 optical zoom. This powerful feature acts like a telescope to produce extraordinary close-up shots, superior in clarity to those provided by digital zoom. You can also choose between four zoom speeds, so you can go from a wide angle to full telephoto zoom in 2 to 16 seconds. The included SD Memory Card assures smooth networking with PCs, TVs, and PDAs that are equipped with an SD slot. 16: 9 Wide Screen Mode provides recording video in the same 16: 9 aspect ratio as a movie screen, giving your videos a dramatic, cinematic effect during playback. Color Digital Filter gives you the same duo-tone effect of a color filter without having to attach one to the lens. It lets you add a sepia, red, yellow, blue or green tone to the overall picture.
Amazon.com Product Description
Digital pictures aren't unique to digital camcorders anymore--the Panasonic PV-L452 functions as both a VHS-C camcorder and a digital camera. It also features a large 2.5-inch color LCD, 20x optical zoom, high-performance two-hour battery, and special digital effects like strobe, wipe, and 16:9 widescreen. You can even digitally add color filters to your video without having to attach one to the lens.

Lens
It features an optical zoom magnification of 20x along with a 750x digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image. The digital image stabilization system keeps the picture steady and solid throughout zooms and camera shakes.

Digital Stills
The PhotoShot mode allows the L452 to take digital stills, storing them on the included 8 MB Secure Digital card. SD memory cards are high-capacity memory cards that can be easily connected to PCs, TVs, and PDAs that are equipped with an SD slot. The MagicPix function produces full-color still images when you're in low-light situations.

Inputs and Outputs
The standard RCA input/output and cable is included, so you can hook the camcorder to a TV for convenient viewing or to a VCR for dubbing to regular VHS.
