Panasonic announces AF105 Four Thirds camcorder (interchangeable lenses not included)

Panasonic AF105

The splicing of video and stills cameras continues unabated today, as Panasonic has just outed a serious-looking piece of photographic hardware. The AF105 is the world's first camcorder to offer a Four Thirds-sized sensor and provides 1080/60i or 1080/30p AVCHD video recording skills, while matching up to the growing selection of glassware for cameras like the G2,GH1 and the Micro Four Thirds GF1. SDHC and SDXC storage cards are accepted and there's a note that "cinema" lenses can also be fitted on via an adapter. The price is set at ¥837,900 (about $9,960) and launch is expected this December.
