David Kender of Camcorderinfo.com reviews the new Panasonic SDR-S100 Camcorder:
“The SDR-S100 has hints of Panasonic’s stellar MiniDV line: the great normal light performance from 3 CCDs, the great manual control. But the similarities end there. The first warning sign that this isn’t a camcorder like a Panasonic 3 CCD MiniDV model comes with the non expandable battery. No camcorder user, I don’t care if they are point and shoot, or an expert videographer for NBC Nightly News, is going to seriously consider a camcorder with a non expandable battery. When you add that with no audio input at all this becomes a camcorder with a completely closed system that is a huge mistake.”
