Panasonic SDRS15EBK Black Flash Camcorder

By 16 Cigarettes (reviewstream.com) Read the full review

I'm sure you'll love this flash camcorder from Panasonic. With so many on the market and so much competition, it's hard to know what's exactly for you, and what exactly you need to be worrying about when it comes to considering your purchase. I hope...

Highly recommended. Another great item from Panasonic. Find it for around £150 from major retailers, or look online on sites such as Amazon and Ebay for an additional discount. It’s also worth looking at clearance outlets (both mortar and brick and...

Panasonic SDR-S15 camcorder

By Gavin Stoker (computeractive.co.uk)

This pocket camcorder shoots straight to memory cards

Lightweight and pocket-sized; 10x optical zoom; fast and simple to use

Only standard-definition video (704x576 resolution)

The S15 is easy to use, fast, well built and gives good results, even though its resolution is lower than most of its rivals

Panasonic SDR-S15 review

By Gavin Stoker (pcadvisor.co.uk)

The Panasonic SDR-S15 looks like a traditional camcorder, and records to SD or SDHC card.

The Panasonic SDR-S15 shoots only in standard definition but is armed with a vast set of features for ‘proper’ video recording, including a 10x optical zoom, a front-mounted light and stereo sound. If you want a ‘real' camcorder, this would be a decent...

Panasonic SDR-S15 Camcorder

By (gadgetheaven.co.uk)

It has a simple look and records to SDHC or SD memory cards. It has 2.6 inch screen and takes 0.6 seconds to start and is easy to hold. It is so small that when it is held with both hands, it will almost look like a small toy.

Because of the high quality of picture and sound recorded it is a wonderful choice for those who want the high quality memories that such a camcorder can bring. Though it has standard VGA video recording, it has many additional features that are...

Manufacturer's Description


The SDR-S15 is a stylish model with an ultra-compact, go-anywhere design. It offers a small size, light weight and superb mobility made possible by SD/SDHC memory cards, letting you shoot video with the same casual ease and carry-about convenience they enjoy with small digital camcorders. For occasions when in the past it may have seemed a bit awkward to pull out a camcorder, such as on short outings or business trips, the SDR-S15 is ideal. The implemented intelligent auto mode function automatically activates several convenient shooting assist functions. These functions include face detection, which adjusts exposure settings in order to capture faces perfectly; and the intelligent scene selector, which determines shooting conditions and selects scene settings accordingly. The quick start function allows the SDR-S15 camcorder to begin recording just 0.6 second from the time the LCD is opened and this around a third of the time that it takes for a camcorder that records onto DVD discs to start, making it easier to catch those special moments that come with no warning. All in clear MPEG2 DVD quality. The SDR-S15 camcorder features the YouTube Uploader function that makes video uploading super easy! Simply set the camcorder to "Web Mode" and it will record the movie in a YouTube compatible format. After shooting connect the camcorder via USB to a PC and the YouTube Uploader automatically starts. Simply follow the procedure to upload your video clips to the YouTube video-sharing site. The SDR-S15 camcorder offers a function that simplifies the process of copying recordings from the memory card or hard disk drive to a DVD. No PC is required. A DVD disc created this way can be easily played directly from a DVD player. The SDR-S15EB-P is an exclusive to Currys.
