Shiny Video Preview: Panasonic HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20 camcorders
Yesterday I grabbed a few quick minutes in a noisy room to show you the four models Panasonic has recently launched/announced for their camcorder range, the HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20.
The former two models offer lovely, scrumptious full-HD, whereas the latter two are standard-def. Take a look above for some…
Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder announced in UK, world's smallest and lightest
The second high-def camcorder announced by Panasonic today in the UK is the HDC-SD9, which also offers a full HD experience with 1920 x 1080p filming.
The main difference between the SD9 and the HS9 I mentioned before is that the SD9 doesn’t contain a hard disk. Instead, recording is made onto an SD or SDHC card. Like the HS9, it is also 3CCD and has the same 10x zoom. Weighing in at 115g, it’s very minuscule in size, yet still packs…
Panasonic announces the full-HD HDC-HS9 camcorder in the UK
Panasonic today announced four new camcorders in the UK, two to join their high-def range, the other two to languish in the inferior standard definition range. Standard def, bah! Who wants it?
The two full-HD camcorders announced are the HDC-HS9 (pictured above) and HDC-SD9. Offering 1920 x 1080p recording, at 25fps and a 17Mbps bit rate, it features a 60GB hard disk, but you can also record onto SD or SDHC via the card slot. Oh, and did I mention it’s got an impressive 10x optical zoom too? That’s the best part, if you ask me…
Panasonic throws the miniscule SDR-S7 camcorder into the mix
I know there’s a Panasonic launch event in the coming weeks here in London, so I’m hoping they’ll be showing off this SDR-S7 camcorder, which was just announced in Japan.
Weighing an incredible 160g, or 182g with the battery and SD card in their relevant slots, it records in VGA resolution at 640 x 480 in the Mpeg-2 format. With…

Sanyo's 'aggressively priced' entry-level camcorder – the Xacti CG9
A new Xacti appears every few months, but instead of taking the spec to the next level the newly-launched Sanyo Xacti CG9 actually takes things a step back…
Panasonic goes for a 1970s look for the SDR-SW20 waterproof camcorder
No, this isn’t some 1970s gadgetry we’ve just dug up from eBay, it’s the Panasonic SDR-SW20 – a retro-styled camcorder designed to beat the elements…
Samsung launches VM-DX10 DVD camcorder
I thought we’d seen the back of the DVD camcorder with the growth of the flash card capacity. Obviously not – Samsung has a new one on the market in the form of the VM-DX10.
