Panasonic's ultra compact AVCHD HDC-SD9E Flash Memory 'PAL' Camcorder is a true high definition 1920 x 1080 camera. The HDC-SD9E is perfect for traveling because it frees you up from having to carry around extra tapes or DVDs. One 8GB SDHC card will capture up to 80 minutes of video. If you need more recording time just put an extra card or two in your pocket and forget about 'em until you need more storage space. The SD9 also features 24p for recording the moment with that film-look.
The 1/6" 3CCD sensor provides high quality video and 2.1Mp stills while the 10x optical zoom brings your subject up-close and clear. In addition, the Face Detection feature locks in on up to 5 faces for correct exposure, ensuring that your friends and family will look great even when played back on your big-screen TV. The Intelligent Shooting Guide offers suggestions when you need it to improve your recording and the 1.7 second Quick Start lets you start recording in no-time so that you never miss the shot. The HDC-SD9E has everything you need and then some for excellent movie-making without the hassle of bulky tapes or delicate DVDs.
