Panasonic HDC-SX5 Camcorder

Overview:

Panasonic's HDC-SX5 HD camcorder gives you the option to record to DVD or to SDHC cards, giving this camcorder "Hybrid" functionality. The HDC-SX5 is perfect for capturing family gatherings or sporting events that you want to get up on the web ASAP. Recording your video directly to DVD allows for easy storage and viewing while SDHC cards give you the ability to download quickly to your PC for emailing or for sharing on sites such as YouTube or MySpace.

The HDC-SX5 comes with a 2.7" LCD screen, three 1/6" CCD sensors, a Leica Diomar lens with 10x optical zoom, Pre-Rec function (captures three seconds of video before you start to record), and Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (OIS).

2 Recording Options

The HDC-SX5 lets you record to either DVD or SDHC cards, redefining the term "Hybrid." Recording to DVD is a great option for capturing family memories, enabling you to instantly watch what you've just recorded. SDHC cards allow for fast downloading of video to the internet for sites like YouTube or MySpace.

High Picture Quality

Advanced OIS protects your memories from camera shake that tends to plague video recording. The 3CCD System gives your videos superior image quality because your SX5 uses three sensors to record, instead of the standard one.
