Another competition I won't be entering

Panasonic Broadcast announced last week a "Shoot It. Share It" contest for users of its AG-HMR10 AVCCAM handheld recorder. Through June 18, 2010, HMR10 users can submit a video demonstrating their interesting use of the handheld recorder for the chance to win prizes, including the Grand Prize of a 65” Viera Plasma Television with built-in SD card slot.

The downside? The AG-HMR10 is a handheld recorder that costs $2,600.00!

The battery-powered HMR10 records up to 12 hours of HD video on a 32GB SDHC card. Content can be immediately viewed on the handheld’s 3.5" LCD screen. With an HD-SDI in/out, the HMR10 can also serve as a standalone recorder for use with HD-SDI capable cameras, switchers and decks.
