Lightweight and compact, this new digital camcorder from Panasonic makes an ideal, unobtrusive travel partner. Happily, the S150 also has a gaggle of features that make a high-quality picture, like a high-performance image processor, an optical image stabilizer, and a Leica Dicomar lens. Fine color reproduction and an easy-to-use design make this a good value for both families and budding Warren Millers. The S150 comes with a 2 GB SD memory card.
