Panasonic HDC-SD9

Pros: Stable; easy to use; beautiful output on a computer screen

Cons: Extremely proprietary; grossly excessive time to convert from proprietary format to DVD.

The Bottom Line: I would not buy this camcorder unless you're willing to waste hours while your computer reformats your movies to a DVD

Review: There are many, many things I can say about this camera, but at the moment all I can say is, "I don't like it."

Actually, the camera itself is a beautiful device. It's easy to use, has decent 'vibration reduction' capability and outputs...

Pros: The supplied software WORKS and is fairly intuitive.

Cons: Have a lot of computer to make HD work.

The Bottom Line: This camera and it's software works as advertised (Very Well) Great footage but inporting and editing HD requires a lot of computer horsepower to work well.

Review: The images captured by this camera are just incrediable. Great color, Bright tight video and surprisingly good audio from such a small camera.
Panasonic has packed a lot of technology into this small package......

That said lets deal with...
