PANASONIC HDC-SD1 HIGH DEF VIDEO CAMCORDER - £449 I have used this camcorder once for about 20 minutes. It is absolutely immaculate and no different to a new model. I also have a Manfrotto 055D Tripod that I will sell cheaply. Manufacturers Description: High definition video The remarkably compact HDC-SD1 records in high definition, giving you incredibly realistic images that are an ideal match for the latest generation of big screen high definition televisions. The 2.1 megapixel CCD is capable of recording at the full HD resolution of 1,440 x 1,080i and can capture still images at 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. Images are processed by Panasonics HD Crystal Engine for top results. 3CCD System Most professional broadcast cameras use the 3CCD system. In a single CCD system all of the incoming light information is processed by the same CCD (Charged-Couple Device). The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. You can see the results in beautifully rendered images with vivid colour, fine detail and rich gradation. Records to SD memory card The SDHC/SD memory cards are just 24mm x 32mm x 2.1mm making them small enough to slip into a pocket and take anywhere. Start-up time is very short too, since there are no mechanical components, so you can record at a moments notice. These tough little cards are highly resistant to heat, light, impact and condensation, so they are safe to use in a wide range of conditions. You dont have to connect a cable or run a finalising process when transferring data to a PC if your PC has a card slot either, you simply plug the card in and everything is available immediately. Mega O.I.S. Panasonics Optical Image Stabiliser system minimises the shake that can be such a problem with camcorders. Because Panasonics system is an optical one there is no degradation in image quality. Zooming tends to increase the blurring caused by shake but with O.I.S. youll get crisp, clear close-ups too and your pictures will look spectacular even on a large-screen TV. Leica Dicomar lens Leica AG of Germany is the manufacturer of fine cameras and lenses favoured by photographers everywhere. Drawing on Leicas renowned optical technology, this advanced lens captures clear, crisp images with outstanding detail and contrast. Thanks to a multi-coating applied during the manufacturing process, the lens also minimises flare and ghosts. Five microphones for 5.1 Surround Sound Record the best sound possible with the five built-in microphones which gives you full 5.1 Surround Sound, capturing sounds from every direction so you get a truly lifelike audio track thats a great match for the HD image quality. In Zoom mode the microphones are linked to the lens action so when you zoom in on a subject, the microphones focuses on the sound in that direction, minimising the capture of incidental sounds. Easy to use With the One-Touch Navigation you simply press the centre of the joystick to display an operating menu. The operations you use most often are right on the monitor, so its easy to change settings or operate the camera without looking away from your subject.
