TrustedReviews has a review on the Panasonic HDC-SD5 digital camcorder. Panasonic HDC-SD5 features a 560Kpixel 3CCD sensor, 10x optical zoom with Leica Dicomat lens and Advanced O.I.S image stabilizer, and a 2.7-inch LCD display. The SD5 supports AVCHD standard and it can record 1920×1080 Full HD videos.
TrustedReviews‘ Verdict:
Although it’s quite a bit more expensive, we still prefer Sony’s HDR-SR8E as the king of consumer HD camcorders and Canon’s HV20 as the most accomplished sub-£1,000 camcorder for the more serious videomaker. But the compactness of the HDC-SD5 makes it a very tempting proposition if sheer portability is a major concern. Image quality may not be as good as HDV, and it lacks a few important features for the enthusiast. However, it still shoots great video and is very comfortable to use – plus the increasingly low price of SD cards mean they could end up being the winner of the current camcorder format wars.
