Panasonic HDC-SX5
TYPE: Digital Camcorder
|
|
The Panasonic HDC-SX5 squeezes a three-CCD design and true 1080i HD video recording (1920x1080 pixels per frame at 30 fps) into a palm-sized unit that costs just under $900. The camera stores video and 2.1MP still images on either recordable 3-inch DVDs or SD/SDHC cards. It records HD video in AVCHD (Blu-ray) format or DVD-quality video (720x480 pixels per frame) in standard DVD format. On DVD, you get up to 150 minutes of video, and, on an 8GB SDHC card, up to 180 minutes of HD video or more than 6,500 highest-quality JPEG images. The Panasonic has a 10X Leica Dicomar f/1.8 zoom lens with optical image stabilization, and a 2.7-inch LCD with 300,000-pixel resolution and wide 170-degree viewing angle. For still imaging, there's "intelligent" contrast control, exposure comp, soft skin mode, a grid to aid composition, and built-in flash control. Plus, you can copy still images directly from SD cards to a DVD. The Panasonic HDC-SX5 is available with a MSRP of $899.95.
