Panasonic HDC-SD5
The Panasonic HDC-SD5 camcorder employs cutting-edge imaging technology to capture video recordings that are breathtakingly clear and vibrant, especially when viewed on a high-quality, large screen TV.
The HDC-SD5 uses the AVCHD format to record full-HD video with 1920 x 1080 pixel* resolution. It employs Panasonic’s original 3CCD camera system, a professional broadcast feature, which renders vivid, true-to-life colors, outstanding detail and rich gradation. The camcorder also boasts Panasonic’s new Advanced O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) minimizing the effect of hand shake. This technology helps produce crisp, clear images, which is especially important for viewing on large-screen high resolution TVs where image imperfections are easily visible.

Panasonic HDC-SD5 Reviews
TrustedReviews has a review of the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and they write, “Although it’s quite a bit more expensive, we still prefer Sony’s HDR-SR8E as the king of consumer HD camcorders and Canon’s HV20 as the most accomplished sub-£1,000 camcorder for the more serious videomaker. But the compactness of the HDC-SD5 makes it a very tempting proposition if sheer portability is a major concern. Image quality may not be as good as HDV, and it lacks a few important features for the enthusiast. However, it still shoots great video and is very comfortable to use - plus the increasingly low price of SD cards mean they could end up being the winner of the current camcorder format wars.” Link.
SmartHouse reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “There is no doubt that Panasonic’s HCD-SD5 will be able to give users the outstanding HD video quality they are looking for - the images we took were vibrant and surprisingly crisp, all thanks to the technology that Panasonic placed in this video camera. However, we just don’t like the fact that recording time is quite limited on the device (41 minutes in HF mode using the bundled 4GB SDHC card) and will force a user to either change the unit’s recording mode or purchase additional SDHC cards to accommodate more raw footages.” Link.
PC Pro reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “The Panasonic HDC-SD5 isn’t a perfect camcorder. Its lack of auxiliary inputs and poor low-light performance won’t endear it to anyone with serious video-making intentions. But it’s charmingly tiny, with a surprisingly healthy range of manual controls and decent video quality in more clement conditions.” Link.
CNET UK reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “The Panasonic HDR-SD5 is a little camcorder with big ideas. It records excellent HD video and has a number of clever features. If only the memory was there to match. If you’re going to shell out for lots of memory cards, you might be tempted to simply buy a camcorder with a decent-sized hard drive, such as the similarly priced Sony Handycam HDR-SR1. Still, SD cards are relatively inexpensive, and if you’re happy to fill your pockets with them the SD5 won’t disappoint you.” Link.
PC Authority reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “The Panasonic HDC-SD5 isn’t a perfect camcorder. Its lack of auxiliary inputs and poor low-light performance won’t endear it to anyone with serious video-making intentions. But it’s charmingly tiny, with a surprisingly healthy range of manual controls and decent video quality in more clement conditions.” Link.
Wired reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “Panasonic’s solid-state 3-chip camcorder is a perfect vacation cam: small and lightweight, with a long lasting, efficient battery. Even better, it shoots 1920 x 1080i AVCHD video to SD or SDHC cards, so if you fill it up on the road you can grab some more memory. Yet while color handling was fantastic and we were totes impressed with the sehr gut Leica lens that captured bright, crisp images, we saw some noticeable compression artifacts on our 37” HDTV. ” Link.
Good Gear Guide reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “Unlike the CMOS sensors found on Sony’s assorted output, the HDC-SD5 has been built using superior 3CCD technology. This is the same imaging system found in professional broadcast cameras; producing advanced levels of colour reproduction via a trio of 1/6″ individual charge-coupled devices. Subsequently, the HDC-SD5 is capable of producing stunningly crisp and vibrant imagery at a resolution of 1920×1080i. It gave a close-to-faultless performance throughout the majority of our testing; only exhibiting problems in low light conditions which is a common fault in most cameras.” Link.
SimplyDV reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, ” Whilst the purists and hyper-critics will bemoan the smaller 1/6th CCDs and lack of connectors that were a feature of its predecessor, there’s no escaping the fact that for its intended market Panasonic’s newest AVCHD camcorder is the best in its class…If you’re looking to buy a new, state-of-the-art camcorder you need to be thinking in terms of (a) high definition and (b) solid-state media recording and playback at an affordable price - in which case look no further than the HDC-SD5. We love it.” Link.
Tech reviews the Panasonic HDC-SD5 and writes, “As a high-quality consumer video camera that’s both highly functional and great to use, the HDC-SD5 has just about everything that the newbie could want…Add to that the fact that it shoots fantastic full high-definition movies to completely solid-state media and it’s fair to say that we have a real winner on our hands.” Link.
