"Panasonic HD Camcorder Hungers For Memory"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:11/10/2007

If you have an HD TV, you might be considering upgrading to an HD camcorder as well. And Panasonic's SD5 may just be the trick - so long as you have enough memory cards to support your HD habit.

From video camcorders that record data unto a flash drive, to ones that use DVD recordable discs, users have a lot of models to choose from when purchasing a video camcorder. But more often than not, a user looks for a video camcorder that is small and compact, easy to use, and has that plug-and-play function that can make viewing, editing, and burning raw files easier rather than the media that it is going to use.

Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is one of those High Definition video cameras that may be just what a user is looking for - it sports a small profile, is user friendly, has tons of connectivity options, and even comes with an editing software for creating and editing high definition videos. Just be ready to shell out a few extra hundred dollars for extra SD/SDHC memory cards if 40 minutes of high definition recording is inadequate for you.

The Panasonic HDC-SD5 shines as soon as one presses the record button, thanks to its 3CCD technology, AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec High Definition) recording format, and its ability to shoot videos in 1080i.
