The first thing you notice about the Panasonic SDR-S7 camcorder is its size - and my goodness, is it small.
In fact, this model from Panasonic is just about small enough to fit in the palm of your hand (if you have a largish hand). It measures in at just 102x41x59mm, making it small enough to stow in most bags without you even noticing.
Obviously given its petite size, the SDR-S7 does not have all the features of more fully fledged models (for example, there is no hand strap, increasing the likelihood of dropping the camera), however it is a nice option for entry-level camcorder users.
It carries the very affordable recommended retail price of $549 (although Ted's Cameras has it for just $454 here), which means it is the entry-level model in Panasonic's 2008 range of camcorders.
It's a flash memory model - footage is recorded to SD/SDHC memory cards. SDHC camcorders are very convenient to use because they have a longer battery life and allow you to play back your footage easily.
Video peformance is reasonable for an entry-level camcorder - just be warned that you're not going to be creating any cinematic masterpieces on the SDR-S7.
