Panasonic HDC-SD9
Comments:
It's easy to be seduced by how light and comfortable the 11.5-ounce HDC-SD9-8GB camcorder ($699.95 direct) feels. In fact, it weighs less than comparably priced camcorders by more than four ounces; it achieves this by forgoing an integrated hard drive or
Review Verdict: This camcorder is small and lightweight, but its video quality is below par.

Review Verdict: This camcorder is small and lightweight, but its video quality is below par.
QuickTake:
Pros: Small form factor. Extremely lightweight. Dolby Digital 5.1 recording. Face detection.
Cons: Video quality is not as sharp as the competition. Struggles to adjust white balance when lighting changes. Mild purple fringing. Editing software is primitive. HDMI port is poorly placed.

Panasonic HDC-SD9 - Preview
Comments:
James previews the HDC-SD9 on show at Panasonic's HD Networking Convention in Valencia.
Review Verdict: The HDC-SD9 has a similar basic specification to its predecessor. It sports Panasonic's trademark trio of CCDs, in this case 1/6in units with 560,000 pixels apiece. These will have a good effect on colour fidelity, but sensors this small usually have a ne

James gets his hands on Panasonic's SD card-based HDC-SD9 again for a more extensive test.
Review Verdict: Now we've had a chance to give Panasonic's HDC-SD9 a proper going over, we can't help being rather bowled over. It's definitely not a camcorder for the serious hobbyist, even if it can shoot great-quality video in all but the worst lighting conditions. Bu

Panasonic HDC-SD9 Camcorder Review - Panasonic Flash Memory Camcorders
Comments:
The HDC-SD9 is Panasonic’s third generation of memory card-based AVCHD camcorders, even though the first generation HDC-SD1 was announced only 13 months ago. In the interim, the form factor has changed little â€" these things are tiny. In fact, the HDC-
Review Verdict: We'd also hoped that the third generation AVCHD camcorders would be the ones to finally match HDV quality. Sadly, that is not the case, though the HDC-SD9 has the best AVCHD compression to date. The camcorder still produces slight "ghost images" subj...

Panasonic HDC-SD9 review
Comments:
Acclaimed for its three-CCD sensor set-up, Panasonic's HDC-SD9 is half the size of competing camcorders - due in part to its favouring of SD storage.
Review Verdict: While you must sacrifice a little quality to get a camcorder as diminutive as the Panasonic HDC-SD9, given the ease of use and responsiveness, many will may feel it's a sacrifice worth making.

Panasonic HDC-SD9
Comments:
Review Verdict: The HDC-SD9 is an evolutionary upgrade of the SD5. While the majority of changes are arguably minor, they combine to lift the camcorder head-and-shoulders above its predecessor, not to mention the majority of competitors.

Review Verdict: Despite its trio of CCDs, the video quality and performance of the Panasonic HDC-SD9 are a bit too inconsistent. Plus, we recommend avoiding this model until software support for it improves.
