• Panasonic DVD Camcorder HDCSX5

Features

• Full-HD recording: Images recorded by conventional HD camcorders have only 1,440 horizontal pixels, while full HD camcorders have 1,920. That's about 30 percent more recording pixels! The result is a level of detail goes beyond anything you've ever experienced. And because full-HD recordings contain a vast amount of picture information, they look beautiful on standard-definition TVs as well.
• 3CCD mechanism: This camcorder uses 3 CCD imagers, one for each of the primary colors (red, green and blue) into which incoming light is split. This picks up more light than traditional single CCD camcorders and delivers a more natural, brighter color reproduction.
• World-class lens: The HDC-SX5 comes with a world-class Leica Dicomar lens, fashioned specifically for high-definition digital camcorders. The superior craftsmanship of this lens system captures stunning images and colors that look magnificent in HD. Combined with the advanced 3CCD system, you can relive your memories in lifelike detail on your HDTV screen.
• 2.7 LCD screen: This screen delivers a clear picture of the action during recording and playback. The wide, 170-degree viewing angle lets you move with more freedom while watching the screen.
• Optical image stabilizer (OIS): Camera shake happens. Unsteady hands, shooting while in motion—these factors can reduce the quality of your video. Panasonic built-in stabilization compensates for hand-shake and helps keep your videos crisp, steady and blur-free.
• Multi-format recording: Because the HDC-SX5 records on both SD memory card and DVD, you can capture your memories on an SD card and transfer the video to DVD right in the camcorder. You can then view it on your Panasonic HDTV via an HDMI connection, or you can play your DVD in a Panasonic Blu-ray Disc player.
• Zoom: The 10x optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away.
• Audio: Use the zoom microphone to record in 2.1 stereo sound.
• AVCHD video compression: This hi-def compression technology is far more efficient than standard definition MPEG-2, offering both reduced storage requirements and better video quality.
• Digital still mode: Use your camcorder as a camera to shoot 2.1-megapixel photos.
