A nice camera. If only iMovie ’08 was better at handling AVCHD video. Panasonic’s HDC-SD1 breaks ground by recording gorgeous high-definition movies to tiny SDHC memory cards. At the same time, this brave new world of nonlinear, flash-based...
Beautiful HD picture. Records video files to SDHC memory card. Respectable battery life. Works with external mics.
No headphone jack to monitor audio. No accessory shoe for addons. Capturing footage is slow in iMovie. Storing video requires lots of hard drive space.

Small, light, easy to use. Supersharp res, kickin' image stabilization.
Lowlight a tad grainy; slightly bluish video with auto white balance.
