    The SD20 features a new CMOS sensor, albeit not the 3MOS set up found in the HS200 and TM200, and records on to SD/SDHC cards, although none are included. There is, however, a new "advanced" optical image stabilisation system, 5.1-channel recording and a touchscreen LCD.

    Another half year has passed, so another new SD card high-def camcorder from Panasonic is on the way. Yes there's 1080p recording at 25fps, but the really big news is that it's being shipped with a 32GB SDHC card as standard.

    The H250 has a lot to offer today — notably a great lens, flexible storage and usable manual features — but it'll soon look as quaint and outmoded as VHS.
