TrustedReviews has done a review on Panasonic HDC-SD100 AVCHD camcorder. HDC-SD100 features a 0.52 Megapixel 3MOS image sensoe, 12x optical zoom, 30x digital zoom, face detection, image stabilization and a 2.7-inch LCD display. It uses the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec. SD100 is a SD camcorder supporting up to 32GB of SDHC cards.

TrustedReviews‘ Verdict:
In previous camcorder eras, Panasonic has excelled at providing models with comprehensive features for the enthusiast. Its NV-GS400 was the last great ‘prosumer’ DV model. Until the HDC-SD100 arrived, no manufacturer had combined AVCHD with quite that level of professional features. Canon’s HF10 and HF100 are close, but the HDC-SD100 goes a few steps further with its standard accessory shoe, viewfinder and lens ring. Most amazingly, Panasonic has managed to fit all this into a tiny camcorder weighing just 382g. It’s not perfect – the Canon’s beat it for overall image quality, and at close to £700 it’s not cheap. But if you’ve been holding out for an AVCHD camcorder with the full gamut of professional features, this could be your dream come true at last.

Panasonic presents the HDC-SD100 and HDC-HS100 AVCHD digital camcorders. They are the world’s first to have 1/6-inch 3MOS image sensor with 0.52 Megapixel resolution.

They offer 12x optical zoom, and 30x digital zoom, face detection, image stabilization and a 2.7-inch LCD display. Videos …
