Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD 3CCD Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 3CCD Camcorder with 1920x1080-Pixel Recording is one of the world's smallest and lightest 3CCD Full-HD Camcorders. Utilizing the super-small SDHC/SD memory card helped the engineers at Panasonic create a state-of-the-art camcorder that fits comfortably in the hand and can be used for long periods without causing fatigue.

The 1920x1080 Full-HD Recording  capability in this camcorder will astound you. It records horizontal pixels at an HD resolution of up to 1920 pixels which results in a total of around 2070000 pixels. And with progressive scanning our hi-def camcorders provide twice as much data per picture as conventional interlace scanning. This means you get breathtaking images with exceptional resolution and detail. Combine that with a 1080/24p format which lets you capture scenes with a rich film-like quality and you can see why Panasonic full-HD camcorders take visual expression to the next level.

With its Face Detection Functionality — offered for the first time for recording moving pictures with a video camera — Panasonic makes it easy to capture beautiful faces and clear backgrounds even in dim or backlit scenes. This new function which can detect up to five faces at once automatically adjusts the exposure and smooths skin tones according to the ambient brightness so faces are bright and easy to see.

The new Intelligent Shooting Guide function helps you get magnificent shots by displaying a text message in the LCD monitor telling you which settings are best for the current shooting conditions. With Intelligent Selection Playback poor or inadvertent shots (such as shots of the ground or overly dark scenes) are skipped and all normal scenes are played while viewing.

Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) suppresses the effects of hand shake as you shoot. The system uses gyrosensors to detect hand shake
