Panasonic HDC-SD10K SD Full HD Camcorder - Black
The SD10 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.Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. helps suppress the effects of hand-shake as you shoot, for both motion and still images. This system uses gyro-sensors to detect even tiny amounts of hand-shake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate - all at an astounding 4,000 times per second. Because the system is optical, there's only minimal loss of image quality even when viewed on a large-screen TV. In addition, to shoot high-resolution still images, the normal O.I.S. mode 1 is joined by an O.I.S. mode 2, which has a higher stabilization capability. The O.I.S. corrective lens shifts and stabilizes the image the instant that the shutter button is pressed, to enable greater precision in stabilization. You get all the beauty and minimal blurring.There's nothing more disappointing than shooting an 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 includes AF tracking, a 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.

Little beauty
I was looking for a home camcorder. I have a Canon A620 digital camera and I think excellent (the price was high, but I do not regret), but the prices of camcorders Canons are much higher.
When I got a good bargain from Amazon by Panasonic TM SD10 (U.S. $ 299.00, the price of the common definition camcorders), even knowing the limitations of the model (see in [...]), I decided to buy it. Certainly it is a good camcorder. The daylight does an excellent job. The 16X optical zoom is great, in digital, 80X to work well, then it is a waste (the sharpness is bad).
Low light it loses detail and the colors are washed, but nothing different than most camcorders can do.
The sound is very good, there is the zoom function on the microphone.
To avoid problems, highly recommended to only download the videos to your PC using the HD Writer program that came with the camera (just so you can use it). To convert the file extension m2ts mts AVCHD ts in vob (DVD), mpeg, avi wmv etc., Format Factory is a great free program.
In the end, I believe that the price of U.S. $ 299.00 U.S. $ 350.00 is fair, nothing more. If you really can spend more, maybe three times, thinking of satisfaction in the long run, search for other models (HF Canon S10 Canon VIXIA HFS10 HD Dual Flash Memory with 32 GB Internal Memory and 10x Optical Zoom and S11 Canon VIXIA HF S11 HD Dual Flash Memory Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom everyone recommends) and compare the stores (if possible with a full hd tv and hdmi cable).
I would like to mention that I live in southern Brazil and delivery service from Amazon, along with the PuntoMio (courier door to door), were excellent.

Great sleek camcorder with good picture quality
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.
Panasonic HDC-SD10K SD Camcorder
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.
Panasonic HDC-SD10K is great
