Panasonic describe the camera as having 'pocket sized dimensions and a lightweight design.'
There is no doubt that this new release is packed full of punch, and they have definitely taken a few notes from the others models already out there on the market.
The HM-TA1 has both HD recording and picture taking capabilities, as well as 4 x digital zoom, so you'll never be too far away from the action. A feature that is missing from many hand held HD recorders out there, including my own!
As expected the camera has an integrated USB terminal, making your old generic USB cable that you have cherished for years, completely redundant.
Another great feature of Panasonics latest release is that it can be adapted as a web cam and used with Skype. So again that's another piece of old PC equipment that you can afford to finally get rid of.
The final cherry on the top of this well thought out products is the way in which the user can personally customise a skin for it, making it that little bit different from everyone else.
One is free with every purchase and you can upload your own image to the Panasonic website and order it from there. Link: http://mystyle.panasonic.eu/ (this feature isn't live yet!)
