Panasonic HDC-SD9D HD Camcorder £424.98


Looking to capture your summer holidays this year on video? Well, why not future proof those recordings by getting an Full HD camera like this Panasonic HDC-SD9D which is now discounted to £424.98 at Comet.

The camera uses an SD card (4gb supplied) to record full HD 1920x1080 progressive video at 17mbps bit rate on to AVCHD format, which means you can just add another cheap SD card to your camera if you run out of space whilst you're out there - no hard drives to get full or tapes that are hard to find. Reevoo has 28 reviewers who have given it 9 out of 10! The bonuses are that it's small, lightweight, superb pictures, easy to navigate and picture quality is sharp. The only qualms about the camera are it's battery life (although it uses energy saving SD cards) and a lack of supporting pc software (which will surely get updated soon).

Here's the technical specifications:
  • 3CCD camcorder
  • 1920 x 1080 progressive recording (25 frames per second)
  • 10 x Optical zoom
  • 2.7" LCD Screen
  • Connectivity - USB2
  • Widescreen recording - Wide Mode
  • Removeable memory
  • 700 times magnification Digital Zoom
  • 3 lux Minimum Light Level
  • Digital effects
  • 5.1 surround sound
  • 4gb SD card supplied
  • AVCHD format
  • Remote control
  • Still photo facility
  • 275g weight
