Panasonic 3MOS HDC-SD100: Three-CMOS camcorder

When it comes to camcorders, Panasonic have been a little stubborn in the technology that they use. For a while now they have stuck with CCD technology, where brands such as JVC have switched over to CMOS sensors.

Panasonic SA-BX500 AV receiver debuted at CEDIA

Panasonic are to introduce their new SA-BX500 AV receiver at the CEDIA show this week, but I am not sure if audio fans will stop to look. This audio receiver is nothing special, so you might miss it and just walk past the Panasonic stand.

Maybe you should take the time to stop and have a look, because if you are an audio geek then the Panasonic SA-BX500 AV receiver will certainly push your buttons. This is because of its bi-amplification/bi-wiring feature.

So what features have Panasonic decided to go with, well how about 7×130-Watt amplification to start with. Ok so you want more, how about HDMI connectivity (3 inputs, 1 output). The receiver supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA. The SA-BX500 AV receiver goes on sale in October and will cost $799.
