Panasonic HDC-SD60
$500.00
Released April, 2010
The Pros:Image stabilization handles shaky camera work well. Video picture is sharp and clear. Battery is very long-lasting, will exceed documented spec.
The Cons:Automatic white balance varies, sometimes its right and sometimes way off. In auto mode, the wind cut filter is stuck on and can't be turned off. Low light recording shows a lot of grain.

The camcorder has a 35.7mm wide-angle lens, suitable for landscape and portrait shots, and a 25X optical zoom that extends further to 35X with Panasonic's Intelligent Zoom technology that correct image quality as the lens is zoomed out. In addition, Intelligent Auto technology is also featured, meaning the camcorder can be set to register six faces that it will from then on recognize and focus on during video capture sessions. The HDC-SD60 uses only SD and SDXC memory card for storage and saving videos, meaning that it has no built-in memory or internal hard drive; this also means it is more resistant to strenuous use as it has no drive mechanism to damage with impacts.
