Panasonic has announced two new MiniDV camcorders into the Japanese Market. The first is the NV-GS70K, a three chip model and the second is the NV-GS50K which only includes one chip, but comes in four different colors.

The NV-GS70K include three chips, although we don't know their size or resolution. We do know however that the camcorder can record 1,280 x 960 pixel resolution stills to SD cards, and that it includes an 8 MB SD card. The camcorder also includes the Magic wand, which was provided with the US Panasonic PV-DV953 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $899.88). The wand functions as wired zoom and record controller. The camcorder can also record MPEG4 video to the SD card.

Panasonic Japan also announced the NV-GS50K, a single chip camcorder. The NV-GS50K also can record digital stills to SD cards, as well as MPEG video. It includes an 8 MB SD card. The NV-GS50K also comes in four colors including: a standard silver, a red, yellow and a blue color.

We were unable to get pricing or availability information on the camcorders or information on when they would be available in the US.
