Panasonic is building a solid-state camera that records onto PCA cards. The camera, according to Panasonic officials, is still about a year away from being available to the industry but as it has no moving parts it may well have a major impact on how people think about cameras. Other companies, including JVC and Ikegami, have previously introduced camcorders that record to hard disk for news gathering but this is the first time that Panasonic has moved into tapeless acquisition.
