New pocket-sized digital camcorder from Panasonic that eschews video tape entirely and records to SecureDigital Flash memory cards instead. The D-snap SV-AV100, which is supposed to be the world’s thinnest camcorder (we think some of those new videocamphones in Japan might lay claim to that title), weighs just 156 grams, has a 10x optical zoom lens, can play MP3s and take still digital photos, and can record up to 20 minutes of DVD-quality video or 3.5 hours of MPEG-4 video on a 512MB SD card.
