Despite being soundly beaten with the ugly stick, this is a quality piece of hardware capable of capturing beautiful high-def video. If you can get past the bulky design, you won't be disappointed.

Review Verdict: Despite being soundly beaten with the ugly stick, this is a stunning piece of hardware capable of capturing beautiful high-def video. If you can get past the bulky design, you won't be disappointed.

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Panasonic HDC-SX5 'hybrid' camcorder

Comments:
It can record to both DVDs and SDHC cards, but what's it like as a camcorder? Rob gives you the director's cut.

Review Verdict: The HDC-SX5 has plenty of commendable qualities. The lack of microphone input and headphone output reduce its usefulness for more serious video making, but it offers good image quality in adequate lighting, and there are some useful manual controls on off

Product Rating: 3.1 star(s) Panasonic HDC-SX5 Camcorder Review - Panasonic Hybrid Camcorders

Comments:
The second generation of AVCHD camcorders have been rolling onto shelves in recent months, mostly offering mild upgrades or occasional downgrades. Panasonic is trying a different route. The HDC-SX5 combines the media from both of its first-generation mode

Comments:
DVD recording means the SX5 is a large and chunky beast

Review Verdict: Its impressive glossy grey and black two-tone finish certainly makes it look the part, but it's when used on a good tripod that its mass comes in useful. With the exception of a few buttons that sit inside the 2.7in widescreen LCD recess, all the main ope
