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 and GH1. SDHC and SDXC storage cards are accepted and there's a note that Micro Four Thirds and "cinema" lenses can also be fitted on via extra adapters. The price is set at ¥837,900 (about $9,960) and launch is expected this December.
