Would you look at that, no sooner did Panasonic roll out some more backwards incompatible memory cards do they introduce a product to work with them. The SDR-S200 camcorder records MPEG2 with its 10x optical and 100x digital zoom lens, and writes the data at up to 10Mbps onto its flash memory. Luckily, this supports both SDHC and the older SD cards.

The SDHC card that was announced today only supports a 5MB/s (that’s Bytes) transfer rate, and this card can write 10Mbps (bits) when set at its highest quality. Luckily 10Mbps is only 1.25 MB/s.
Available in Japan July 8th. No price has been set.
