Product Description:
The Panasonic HDR-SD9,a recent winner at the TIPA awards, comes complete with some of the best technologies available on today?s market, including a Tri-CCD sensor and a Full HD recording mode for more clarity, finer details and better colour reproduction. Thanks to its three-lens sensor, colours are processed separately for exceptional results, while a progressive resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and an O.I.S. image stabiliser, activated over 4,000 times per second, corrects the effects of blur for steady, still images. A Leica lens captures subtle nuances and colour tones, ensuring videos are as true to life as possible, and Dolby Digital surround 5.1/2-channel technology allows you to record outstanding sound. The HDR-SD9 is also equipped with face detection technology, along with automatic exposure and focus control for perfect pictures. It''s amazingly comfortable to handle and use, thanks to its intuitive shooting guide, help tools and connections system, made up of an HDMI port, a USB 2.0 port and a host of video outputs. With bags of powerful, technologically-advanced features inside its casing, the SD9 definitely won?t disappoint!

- Great camera - stupid design flaws
Been using this for a couple of months now and am impressed with its pictures

Its so good it seems a little cynical to have not included a mic socket - probably not to harm sales of their pro cameras.

Obviously - You should be aware that you will need mega free memory for HD footage converted from AVCHD files - having a gig per minute is about right. But external hard drives are cheap and raw avchd is small enough to burn to disc

But there are design features that really annoy:

* The controls are fiddly and the menus not very intuitive.
* The directional nipple seems obtusely designed to be uncomfortable and is sited right next to the bump stop for the screen which makes it confusing ... Read More:

- panasonic HDC-SD9EB-S HD
I had been reading camcorder reviews for weeks before buying this camcorder from Amazon. I initially didn't think HD was the way to go because of budget contraints, but at £400 there were no other cacorders in the same league as this one. The picture clarity is fantastic not only in the view finder, but on my HP 1080p Panasonic TV as well. I use the Viera link which Panasonic offers on most of its media products and it works well. Editing the move clips was a breeze using Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c (must be "c" for Panasonic AVCHD support). The free trial software you get with the camera is not worth the time. I don't use the software that comes with it to copy the files to other media either.

Fantastic camcorder at a fantastic price. ... Read More:

- Great Pictures
Panasonic HDC-SD9EB-S HD Camcorder

This is the 5th Panasonic Camcorder I have bought over 17 years. All are working as well as they did when new. This camcorder has easily the best pictures, and the stabiliser does a superb job without degrading the picture quality.

I have also bought the optional disk burner and this works superbly.

Things are not so good when it comes to sound. All my previous camcorders have external microphone sockets and the sound obtainable is better than the built-in microphones on this (or any other small) camera can achieve.

As it stands, the camcorder is an excellent tourist product. With better sound facilities it would be good enough for serious work.

- Great value for money
I wanted a compact HD camcorder primarily to record videos of our less-than-one-year-old son, and the HDC-SD9 fits the bill perfectly.

Since the camera uses SD cards instead of mini-DVDs as its storage media, Panasonic have been able to produce a tiny, lightweight unit which really needs to be seen to be believed. If, like me, you have large and slightly clumsy fingers, it can take a bit of practice to get used to handling something so small, and consequently the controls can be a bit fiddly to use, but these are minor niggles.

The camera is simple to use straight out of the box, with controls and menus which I (a camcorder virgin) found pretty intuitive. Picture quality is very good: you get sharp HD images and rich ... Read More:

- Great Quality but forget editing footage at the moment
I bought this camera from Amazon a couple of months ago. Not the best deal in the world as Amazon's price was higher than most. The camera is very easy to use and the AVCHD footage is of very high quality and colour rendition. If all you want to do is take footage and connect the camera via HDMI to your HD ready TV then you will not be dissapointed by the results; that's the good news!. If you want to edit the AVCHD footage, forget it for the moment. I purchased Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate, (see my review under this product) in the mistaken belief, after reading all the hype, that it would work. IT DOES NOT!! There is not a capable AVCHD editing suite (consumer at any rate) capable of editing this material. Just be aware that if you want or need ... Read More:
