Panasonic HDC-SD10K SD Full HD Camcorder - Black
Product Description:
The Panasonic HDCSD10 features a 16x optical zoom. You can zoom close to catch dynamic shots of distant objects. And because the zoom is optical, there's limited image degradation. Also, Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. helps prevent blurring - typically a big concern when shooting with a zoom. This combination of optical zoom and Advanced O.I.S. gives you the ability to take fantastic zoom shots. You get all the beauty and minimal blurring. There's nothing more disappointing than shooting a once-in-a-lifetime event on video, only to discover that the images are blurry or poorly exposed because of backlighting. Panasonic's iA helps avoid problems in difficult shooting situations by automatically making the optimal camera settings and activating certain functions. For example, iA now includes AF Tracking, a new function that "locks" on and follows a subject as it moves, so images are sharply focused and properly exposed. This technology is a huge help for everyone. HD images contain 6 times as much information as standard images. HDTV has 1,080 horizontal scan lines, SDTV has 480. That translates into much higher resolution and much finer detail. With HD images on an HDTV, pictures are so clear and sharp that you can see textures. The shift in the industry from SDTV to HDTV is well underway. For shooting once-in-a-lifetime scenes that you want to capture in full beauty, the Panasonic HDCSD10 camcorder is the best choice.

I love this camcorder
Great camcorder. Easy to use. Great HD quality. Just wish battery lasted longer. Gets about 1:30 on highest quality.


Good HD camcorder
This is my first HD camcorder. I bought this back in Nov 2009 for 0. It has been an excellent product with a few annoyances.

Pros -
1) Small size, the size of a soft drink can. A HUGE plus!!!
2) Cheap price at the time, same as SD camcorders.
3) Great video quality, especially outdoors in daylight.

Cons -
1) Wide angle lens (44.1) NOT wide enough. Must keep backing up to get the subjects in view.
2) Lens Cover is internal but is manual. Easy to forget to close.
3) Focuses on the wrong thing sometimes and take a while to fix itself.
4) Included Video light is of limited use. Although Flash seems to work well in pictures.
5) Low light performance (indoor/night) while not great is OK.
6) Will shear video if you pan quickly.
7) Flimsy strap just feels wrong, could be better.
8) When you copy footage to PC both Videos and Pictures are stored in a directory in "My Videos" instead of putting the Pictures in "My Pictures". HDWriter software issue.

If you are looking into buying this I would recommend getting the Panasonic HDC-SD60K SD Based Hi-Def Camcorder with 35X Intelligent Zoom (Black) instead since it is under 0 and has an automatic lens cover, bigger CMOS chip, wider and longer zoom and mic is in front instead of top. The HDC-SD60 wasn't available when I bought this.

I am using a 16GB SD card and have only ran out of space once when I forgot to format the card after I copied it to the PC. I will get a back up card. The battery works great but I just ordered the VW-VBG130 battery so I can have a back-up. Am seriously considering getting a 0.5x Digital Wide Angle Macro Professional Series Lens+ Lenspen + 5 Pc Cleaning Kit + DB ROTH Micro Fiber Cloth For The Panasonic HDC-DX1, HDC-HS9, HDC-SX5, HDC-SD1, HDC-SD5, HDC-SD9 High Definition Camcorders to help.

Summary
This is a great little Low-End camcorder much better than the Entry-Level "Flip" type camcorders. Even though I have a lot of Cons I really do like the camera for the price. Don't spend more than 0 on this you can move up to a better one for that price.


Camcorder
Advertisement was somewhat misleading.It states that you can record to twin memory which means to me that you have dual slots for SD cards or one sd card and one hard drive etc.
What it really has is one sd slot which can read either standard sd or sd/hc card.
The quality is good but it is still very hard to see the image in bright outdoor conditions since there is no viewfinder, just the lcd screen. It would be worth extra money to have a viewfinder.
Overall it is as good or better thab any of the camcorders that it looked at.

Panasonic HDC-SD10K is great
 
Review Date: October 30, 2009
Reviewer: Arco, Absecon, NJ United States
originally i bought the standard definition panasonic camcorder, and the people at best buy assured me i would not be able to tell the difference between that and high def on my TV, so i tried it and they lied. i then bought this camera off amazon and not only is it super high def quality, but its so easy to use the touch screen display is great, and is sooooo light weight.
Good Hi-Def Digital Camcorder
 
Review Date: December 19, 2009
Reviewer: S. Moon, USA
I researched several brands which were, at least, twice more expensive than this one. In my observation, it is very easy to handle and compact enough to carry around. It is small, and many reviewers complained about the low light shooting. I think it is more to what you are going to use this one for. I shoot some footages in my basement at night, and it showed more grains, but the quality is fine to acceptable.
The video image was good enough to see clear difference in quality and sharpness on my 42 inch HD LCD. The price is close to those standard definition camcorders, but its video quality is superior.

I am more than happy with its performance, not necessarily the price I paid.
The included battery lasts about 1 hr 30 min, and the battery-time is displayed on the screen, so, you can easily spot how much juices remain. Also, I bought a 16GB SDHC Class 6 card, and it could hold 1hr (Very high) or 2:30 (2nd high setting). In both settings, I was very pleased to watch footages on a HDTV.

Maybe in 1-2 years, we will have much more advanced technology, why bother to spend any more?

Reviewer: Raymond Dean, Redding, CA United States
This is a great little camera, excellent video and photos outdoor and indoor...only used it for one day but so far, I'm satisfied with this camera. So simple to operate, didn't need to read the manual to create movies, photos and playback on HD TV. Perhaps I'm not as critical as some of the reviewers but I simply cannot find anything wrong with this camera, I think it's one of the best in this price range.
I love this camcorder

Review Date: January 24, 2010
Reviewer: G. Chawla, PA United States
My sony camcorder broke few weeks back and I was looking for a decent HD one without breaking my wallet. For the price I paid 280@amazon, this is a great camcorder. This is smaller than the length of Iphone 3gs :) I recorder videos inside only so far and I am impressed with quality. I use a class 6 card and record at the highest settings. Conversion to mpeg is easy with the software provided.
Upload to youtube is also 1 click away from the software. If you are a professional videographer this is not for you but for capturing kids videos indoor/outdoor this works great.

This camcorder supports viera link. Just connect the HDMI cable(not provided) to TV and you can use the TV remote to control the camcorder.
