Review: Panasonic HDC-SD60
Offering full-HD movies, SDXC card support, a good lens with 25x zoom and other commendable features designed to appeal to first-time users, does the SD60 set the benchmark for 2010?
Spring has sprung, the days are getting longer and folks are thinking of getting away for the Summer. One thing Summer demands is a good camcorder in order to capture all those golden moments.
Of course, 2010 is undoubtedly the year of High Definition, and to prove it we’re now at a situation where AVCHD has become the de-facto standard format for consumer (not to say professional in some instances) high definition video. Panasonic was the first company to introduce a camcorder that utilised AVCHD and today the company continues this onward march with some excellent HD camcorder products that are not just great for complete newbies but are offered at the right price.
To that end, the new HDC-SD60 is one of a family of four models that offer great pictures and sound, and which enables the recording of full resolution HD video to SD memory cards. More particularly, it makes use of the higher capacity SDHC and also SDXC memorys cards.
Improved quality image sensor and sleek, easy-to-use design is enough to guarantee the success of this new product in 2010. First-time video-makers looking for superb high definition video in a convenient and easy-to-use design coupled with great price aren’t going to be disappointed.
What do we think?
