DIGA's trident thrust

Philip Wong | May 09, 2006

Panasonic fulfills its easy operation claim by outfitting the DMR-ES15 with super multiformat recording and playback features. Out-of-the-box compatibility includes all +/-R formats available in the market inclusive of the latest Dual-Layer, while 1-second quick-start recording and task-based navigation menus round up the user-friendly functions of this new model.

On top of the promising two-time LP mode recording capability, playback performance is beefed up with a pair of high-performance digital-to-analog converters (DAC). Expect better pictures and pristine audio with the onboard 12bit/108MHz video and 24bit/192Khz audio DACs.

Filling in the shoe of networking is the EMR-ES15's DV terminal for videocams. This is enhanced with automated recording and playlist creation designed to simplify video transfer plus easy retrieval and editing.

The new DMR-ES15 is now available for sale in Singapore at S$399 (US$293.38).
