![]() Weighing less than 3.5 ounces (without battery), this unique device is always ready-to-wear and primed to party.The SV-AV10 e-wear A/V recorder/player can hold approximately 30 minutes of MPEG-4 video, or about 880 JPEG images, in the standard mode (QCIF, 200kps) on an included 64MB SD Memory Card. Incredibly, the unit's footprint is smaller than a business card. ![]() ![]() And, it can also function as a voice recorder, to capture and play back quotes, lectures, or just your friend's jokes. It can also record and play back MPEG-4 video and digital still photos, chronicling the action as it happens. Of course, this versatile e-wear unit can play back MP3 and AAC audio. It's a 4-in-1 A/V SD recorder and player with a flip-out, 2-inch LCD screen. and more fun than you can imagine.All this, from wearable units that fit in the palm of your hand, or around your neck, or strapped to your arm - thanks to the super portability and huge data capacity of the SD Memory Card.The amazing SV-AV10 heads up the new e-wear line. The AS10 digital camera has a list price of 299, and the AV100 video camera we're discussing here. It shoots 2-megapixel stills, plus Motion-JPEG video, and also can be used as a music player and voice recorder. Packed with even more technology, the unique e-wear players add multi-media recording and playback capabilities. The D-snap family also includes a digital camera, the SV-AS10, shrunk to a size of 2 x 4 x 1/2 inch, and weighing around 2 ounces. Panasonic's e-wear line of tiny, wearable music players started a sensation.Though mounting the cam on a tripod and using the remote may seem a tad geeky, there are still some possibles, notwithstanding the fact that the cam has no place to screw onto a tripod to begin with.īut most uses of the cam would most likely be amateur, of a home video genre, the versatility also could include use as a 3MegaPixel camera as well as a web-cam with a wireless remote. And cinematographers have frequently said that mini-DV and HiDef1080 are not easy to distinguish between when compared. With the resolution being equal to that of a mini-DV format, the SV-AV100 could even be used for certain angles that would be too tight for a normal mini-DV. As they offer, as an option, an infra-red remote. Similar references to the brand name of the memory cards were also being put forth with that, yet the cam has been using a variety of brand name, or even no-name products to store memory on.Īnother criticism to be de-bunked would be that of the use of controls while keeping the cam stationary. Possibly this was part of the publicity for the program that was included with the cam, also. But while that may have been true, the advent of recent MS and Mac viewer programs seemed to readily recognize the SDVideo file that were being stored on the card format. But seems that early reviews of this, as well as the Panasonic User Mnual, repeatedly refer to a proprietary file format Then they go on to say that other viewing programs may not recognize the format, Mov. Another side benefit may be a spin-off of the whole photo technology condition. So considering the controls, the heat factor, and memory-writing, the SV-AV100 has plenty to be commended for. It is the name of the standard for the compression and extension of a digital moving picture and sound enacted by ITU-TS (International Telecommunications Union. Besides the Mpeg2 mode, Panasonic has also included a still photo mode, for.still lifes, most likely. And supposedly you could go on and load up a 32GB card with near 16 hrs of Mpeg2, but you may possibly have to wait for the cam to cool, too. There's a label on the battery compartment to attest to that being so. The cam gets what seems to be higher than normal temps, and they know that. So that a full, 3.7 volt battery, may be supposed to go for a half hour, or 1GB, but after about 15 minutes you may get the idea that there could be some heat dissipation necessary, too. Then they are also talking about MB scale cards for memory, when today, most consumers measure the memory as GB. Still, Panasonic has kept up with that they use each button for multiple switching. The ergonomics are those of an average or not-even-average user, with controls being on the scale of a mobile phone. So that while this cam has features that may someday be standard for any digital camcorder, the specific uses for today's consumer may be accordingly limited. You should remember, as you read this review, that present technology has somewhat out-distanced the consumer.
