Panasonic HDC-SD800

The Panasonic HDC-SD800 is an upper mid-cost camcorder. With its 3CMOS sensor (which operates with 7.59 million effective pixels), this camcorder can capture full HD 1080/60p video at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

The 46mm F1.5 Leica Dicomar lens helps to produce bright images while cutting back ghost and distortion. Videos come out bright, with low noise, even in low lighting. The HDC-SD800 is also capable of capturing 3D (with the add-on of a CLT1 conversion lens). You can record to SDXC, SDHC and SD cards. The Crystal Engine Pro processor of the HDC-SD800 instantly processes images with defined detail. The optical image stabilizer of this camcorder helps to ensure that you will not have images blurred from camera shake. You can review videos on this camcorder's 3" LCD touchscreen. This camcorder differs from the higher cost HDC-TM900 model in that the HDC-TM900 is equipped with a manual ring (for more accurate video expression), 20x zoom (with Intelligent Zoom), five internal microphones for 5.1 recording, 32GB of internal memory and a 3.5 inch LCD touch panel display. The Panasonic HDC-SD800 camcorder is equipped with an Eco Mode, which automatically turns off the power when the camcorder is not operated for five minutes, reducing wasteful energy use and saving battery power.
