T
he SD-10 camcorder is the top model in the
Rollei Movieline series, and also offers techni-
cal features which bear comparison with those
of any digital camera: for example a strong CMOS
image sensor with ten megapixels and a pow-
erful lens with 10
×
optical zoom.
However, Rollei primarily designed the SD-
10 to record videos – and this with a remar-
kable drive for perfection. Apart from
the aforesaid precision optics and
the high sensor resolution, the
case also contains a fast Amba-
rella processor, which accounts
for the lion’s share of the image
quality and working speed of the SD-
10. The best video quality is provided by the FullHD re-
solution level, which extends to 1,920
×
1,080 pixels.
Unlike many digital cameras, this Rollei camcorder
can nevertheless record 30 images per second. This
ensures that no flickering or shaking is visible when
viewing the video. FullHD resolution also facilitates ex-
ploitation of the possibilities of modern TV equipment.
Thanks to the SD-10’s digital HDMI connection, photos
and videos can be portrayed on a monitor or TV without
loss and in optimum resolution without the need for di-
version via a PC. Loss-free data transfer would not be
possible with the analogue video interfaces built into
many other camcorders and digital cameras. For peo-
ple who despite video optimisation can’t do without a
photo or two, there is no need to buy a separate ca-
mera. The SD-10 produces photos with a resolution
of up to ten megapixels and takes macro shots from
a distance of just one
centimetre; mo-
reover, the full
focal range of the lens can also be
used in photo mode – from a slight wide-angle set-
ting for panoramas through to a distinct tele setting for
portraits with a low depth of focus.
In view of the high video and photo resolution, it is
hardly surprising that Rollei integrated support for
high-capacity SDHC cards – along with the 256 me-
gabyte internal memory, the SD-10 can also be up-
graded to a maximum 32 gigabytes. The new Rollei
camcorder is available from dealers for 249.95 Euros
(RRP).
