Not so long ago, a three-chip consumer camcorder was a dream. Then and now, affordable models relied upon a single CCD (charged-coupled device) to capture color and image data. Using three CCDs to collect the same information results in better color and a more detailed picture, at least in theory. Now, as part of Panasonic’s rush towards a tapeless future, the company has assembled the three-chip SDR-S100, which comes packaged with a 2GB secure digital card.
