A dinky AVCHD camcorder, with respectable video performance and a reasonable price.

Review Verdict: As with the Sony HDR-CX7K, this is a solid product let down by the price of its recordable media. We'd therefore recommend it to people who already own a large collection of SD cards (or an even larger wallet).

Using SD cards as its sole recording media, the HDC-SD5 maybe light and compact, but is it desirable?
