Editors' Comments

Featuring Panasonic's customary 3CCD imaging system and recording in 1080/24p full-HD format, the HDC-SD9 packs a lot of power into a very small package; indeed, it's the smallest and lightest camcorder in its class. The camera records directly to Secure Digital or SDHC memory cards, meaning that recording time is limited only by the size of the memory card in use. It also includes Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. image stabilization system, which can save your video from blur caused by camera shake. The lens's 10x optical zoom gives your a very decent shooting range, and the digtal zoom goes all the way up to 700x, though we don't recommend using it. Other incidental features include face detection and a tele macro mode. In all, this is a great choice for those who want HD capability on the go, and aren't looking to film movies of epic length.
