Panasonic HDC-SD9 and HDC-HS9 HD Camcorders
Panasonic hits the new year with some nice looking HD camcorder models. The two new models, the Panasonic HDC-SD9 and HDC-HS9, both feature full HD resolution (1920x1080) recording, 3 CCDs, and the ability to record at 24P. They record to the AVCHD format, the HDC-SD9 using SD/SDHC memory cards and the HDC-HS9 using either SD/SDHC cards or a built-in 60GB hard drive.
Both the SD9 and HS9 feature three 560k, 1/6? CCDs, 10x optical zoom, and 2.7? LCD screens. To steady your hands, Panasonic�s Advanced Mega O.I.S. (optical image stabilization) is featured on both camcorders, and now compensates for shakiness at around 4,000 times per second.
Other features on the Panasonic HDC-SD9 and HSC-HS9 include Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound recording and Intelligent Shooting Selection Playback, which Panasonic says will skip playing any shots that have serious errors such as fast panning, out-of-focus, or shots taken when the user forgets to turn off the camcorder. Both camcorders now feature face detection, which will track up to 5 faces to make sure the shot is exposed correctly.
The Panasonic HDC-HS9 and HDC-SD9 will be shipping in March for $799 and $1099 respectively.
