Remember the Essentials
Recording media is not included, be prepared - always carry extra media.
The HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder is a high-end HD offering from Panasonic. Right off the bat a few of the camera's most desirable features include: 1920 x 1080/24p recording, a 32GB internal flash memory, an SD memory card slot, the option to record in 3D, and a quality image sensor system. These features alone give you detailed, beautiful images, a plethora of recording space, and the ability to shoot fun and unique movies in 3D with an optional lens.
Let's take a closer look at the 3MOS system and 1080/60p recording. Panasonic's proprietary '3MOS' is a 3 sensor CMOS that adds up to 9.15MP (3 x 3.05MP). These sensors work together with another Panasonic technology, Crystal Engine PRO. This engine is a fast processor which writes those gigantic HD files to the HDD or SD card quickly and efficiently. It also allows for high-res zooming when exceeding the optical range. In addition, the engine works to reduce image noise, rendering beautiful, like-like images. These two work together to produce 1080/60p footage. The "p" means progressive; when recording in a progressive frame rate the footage captures is more vibrant and detailed than even "i", or interlaced, HD recording. In the world of consumer camcorders, 1080p is the gold standard.
Of course the sensor and engine wouldn't be able to do their job without a high-quality lens. The TM900 comes with a 35mm Leica Dicomar lens that sports a 3.45-41.4mm focal length, 12x optical zoom range, 46mm filter diameter, and a 1.5-2.8 f/stop. Lens can zoom up to 20x using the Intelligent Zoom; and it features a manual ring for more control and creativity with your shooting. Another way in which the camera works to create clean video is with HYBRID O.I.S. (optical image stabilization). This O.I.S. keeps your shots steady when hand-holding the camera. It reduces the effects of hand-shake for an easy-to-view, clean shot.
Other useful tools of the camera include a very generous 3.5" touch screen LCD. This screen provides you with options like, "Touch Zoom" and "Touch Shutter". The zoom function allows you to zoom in by dragging your finger across the LCD. The shutter function enables instant touch focus on a particular subject in the frame, and the option to switch to still-image shooting. The camera also features 5.1 channel Dolby Surround Sound recording, and 5 built-in electret condenser microphones. You can capture true Surround Sound that targets your subject, while minimizing wind and extraneous sounds.
In addition to all these useful features, the TM900 also gives you the aforementioned option of recording in 3D. Using the optional VW-CLT1 conversion lens from Panasonic, you can capture 3-dimensional footage. Your 3D videos can then be played back on any 3D TV that is compatible with the side-by-side method. Giving the camera a 3rd identity would be its ability to capture up to 14.2MP still images. A dedicated iA mode will automatically switch to 1 of 5 scene modes for optimized capture.
The TM900 also features numerous shooting controls, like face detection or Intelligent Auto, which help to take the guesswork out of video recording. These controls allow you to make recording simple, so you can focus on the moment and not figuring out the correct settings. Other notable features include microphone and headphone connections, an extendable electronic viewfinder, and a cold shoe for mounting optional accessories. And when it comes time to share what you've shot, the TM900 provides you with various options as well, from editing software that lets you upload to the web to a fun in-camera playback feature.
- Advanced 3MOS System
- The Advanced 3MOS System records beautifully natural images with powerful colors and detailed rendering in both bright and dark scenes. The Noise Reduction technology that goes to work when shooting in dim lighting has evolved even further in 2011 models, allowing them to reduce noise by approximately 45% compared to previous Panasonic models. The Advanced 3MOS System, which is comprised of the 3MOS Sensor that captures images without color loss, the Leica Dicomar Lens that excels with its large, bright aperture, and the Crystal Engine PRO that increases image resolution, produces colorful, bright, beautiful images in Full-HD quality
- 3MOS Sensor
- The 900 Series and SD800 employ the 3MOS Sensor, with its three-sensor configuration. This provides a resolution of 7.59 million effective motion image pixels (2.53 million x 3). The 3MOS Sensor splits the light information captured by the lens into the three primary colors - red, green and blue - and processes each color with its own individual sensor. This reduces light loss compared to the 1MOS sensor, and renders colors, details and gradation all with intricate detail and natural beauty. This superb color reproduction maximizes the inherent quality of progressive images
- Leica Dicomar Lens
- The 900 Series and SD800 use Leica Dicomar lenses, which are renowned for their ability to render sharp images and excellent shading. They also suppress ghosting, flare, and distortion at the image edges. Even in strong sunlight, these superb lenses maintain high contrast and resolution. A bright new F1.5-2.8 lens with a 46mm filter diameter has been created for the 900 Series and SD800. Efficient light collection allows the new lens to capture bright, clear images even in dim lighting or at high shutter speeds. This high-end lens brings out all the beauty of Full-HD images
- Crystal Engine PRO
-
The Crystal Engine PRO instantly processes the huge amount of data that goes into Full-HD images, and further enhances Full-HD quality. It produces smooth, high-resolution zoom shots even when the range exceeds the limit for optical zooming. Crystal Engine PRO clearly delineates even the tiniest details of your subject, with extremely natural beauty. In addition, its Noise Reduction (NR) technology has been completely redesigned. The low-frequency noise that occurs when recording in dim lighting has been further minimized. Compared to previous Panasonic models, noise has been reduced by approximately 45%. And Intelligent Resolution Technology ensures sharp and crisp pictures, resulting in bright and beautifully colored motion images
Intelligent Resolution Technology
The Intelligent Resolution Technology incorporated in the new Crystal Engine PRO uses edge detection technology to confirm the edges of objects within the image, then emphasizes the edges for optimal clarity. For example, it brings crisp definition to patterns and the outlines of objects like flowers. Conversely, it reduces noise and enhances the natural smoothness of parts without edges, like the sky. The increased sharpness is especially effective for images with delicate details. This highly advanced technology maximizes the beauty of Full-HD images
- 1080/60p Recording
-
With its transfer rate of 28 Mbps, 1,080/60p recording (Full-HD, 1,920 x 1,080, 60 progressive recording) conveys about twice the information of 1,080i (interlace) recording. Whereas interlacing requires two images to produce a complete picture, the progressive method records a single image as a complete picture. Plus, the 60 Progressive Recording of the 90 Series produces 60 images per second. This extremely dense image information creates intricate detail and silky smooth motion. Even when subjects move quickly, afterimages are minimized to create more natural images. The progressive method is most effective when shooting designs where more patterns tend to occur, or when capturing scenes during sports events where the subjects are intensely moving around. Also, the recorded images displayed clearly even when they are made into still images, so it is possible to preserve stunning photos when clipping them from videos
- Interlaced Scanning (1080/60i):
Only half of the image data is reproduced in each picture. Fabric patterns run together, and moiré patterns appears
- Progressive Scanning (1080/60p):
Reproduces all of image data in a single picture. Patterns in fabric are crisp and clear with no color bleeding
- Interlaced Scanning (1080/60i):
- Intelligent 20x Zoom and HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)
- The 900 Series and SD800 feature an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all the way up to 20x. When using Intelligent Zoom, Intelligent Resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution. You get sharp images of highly detailed objects - without the blurry edges. Plus, the 900 Series and SD800 are equipped with HYBRID O.I.S, an image stabilization system that corrects hand-shake blurring by combining the action of its hybrid optical and electrical image stabilization systems. Even when zooming, where hand-shake often occurs, both optical and electrical hand-shake correction make it possible to record beautiful images with approximately 2 times the hand-shake suppressing effect as conventional models
- O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Lock
- The image-stabilizing effect is increased by pressing and holding the O.I.S. Lock indication on the LCD screen, which maximizes the blur detection sensitivity. This is great for when you want to zoom at a fixed angle, like for bird watching
- 35mm Wide Angle Lens
- The 35mm wide-angle lens on the 900 Series and SD800 fit more people and more of the background into the frame than a conventional lens. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room
- 5.1 Channel Surround Sound System & Zoom Mic
-
The 900 Series is equipped with five electret condenser microphones. The center mic helps capture the sound source and distance accurately, so you get a more 3-dimensional effect. The Zoom Mic function improves noise-reducing performance and handles higher zooming power, allowing you to clearly capture target sounds. You get a realistic sound space that's a perfect match with the true-to-life HD images
- Wide mode:
Picks up audio from all directions to reproduce a natural, life-like sound field
- Zoom mode:
In Zoom mode the microphones are linked to the lens action. When you zoom in on a subject, the microphones focus on the sound in that same direction
- Focus mode:
With the five highly directional microphones, this mode enables the microphones to focus on sounds coming from right in front of you, even when the lens is not zooming
- Wind Noise Canceller:
The technology of the previous Wind Cut function has evolved to form the Wind Noise Canceller. The new function automatically detects and suppresses only wind noise, to give you natural sounds with lifelike ambience. Also, unlike the previous Wind Cut function, which switched to monaural recording, the Wind Noise Canceller enables stereo recording. This maintains natural sounds when shooting outdoors
- Bass Setting:
You can adjust the level of low-frequency sound that is included in the audio track while shooting
- Wide mode:
- Digital Cinema Mode
-
- Progressive 1080/24p NTSC:
Set the HD camcorder to Digital Cinema mode to shoot in the progressive 1080/24p (24 pictures per second) format for NTSC area, and in the progressive 1080/25p format for PAL area. Progressive scanning captures clear, vibrant images with intricate detail. You also get faithful images with an appealing film-like quality
- Digital Cinema Color with VIERA:
Selecting the Digital Cinema Color mode makes it possible to shoot film-like images that are ideally suited to the Digital Cinema Color of VIERA plasma TVs. Colors recorded in this mode look richer than those recorded using the conventional Panasonic standard. For example, the subtle shades of red and gold in flowers, and the greens of leafy trees are remarkably true to life
- Progressive 1080/24p NTSC:
- Still Picture Recording at 14.2MP
- The still picture recording mode lets you shoot with a maximum resolution of 14.2MP. You can also simultaneously record still images and video at 13.3MP
- Tele-Macro
- You can shoot macro close-ups while maintaining a distance of 70cm from your subject. In addition, using the zoom at full magnification makes it much easier to capture extreme close-ups without your body or camera casting a shadow on the subject and while keeping the background in soft focus
- Scene Mode
-
Automatically selects the most suitable shutter speed and aperture for the shooting location and situation
- Scene modes: Sports, Portrait, Low Light (motion image only), Spot Light, Snow, Beach, Sunset, Fireworks, Scenery, Night Scenery, Night Portrait (still image only)
- Soft Skin Mode
- When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area. This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of the picture outside of the skin
- 3D Image Recording
-
When the optional VW-CLT1 3D Conversion Lens is attached, the 900 Series and SD800 produce an effect called visual disparity. Right and left images are captured simultaneously by the two lenses, and recorded using the side-by-side method. To play back 3D videos, simply insert an SD Memory Card in the slot of a Panasonic VIERA 3DTV. Or you can use an HDMI mini cable to connect the camcorder to a VIERA 3DTV or another 3D TV that is compatible with the side-by-side method
- How does the human perceive 3-dimensional images?
Because the left and right eyes are located at different positions on the face, the left and right eyes perceive slightly different images. The difference between the two images is called 'visual disparity'. The brain processes these 2 images with visual disparity to reconstruct spatial conditions, enabling us to see things with 3-dimensional depth
- Shooting:
Images for the right and left eyes are simultaneously recorded through 2 lenses, using a 2D conversion lens that artificially reproduces the phenomenon of visual disparity
- Playback:
The TV alternately reproduces the left and right images, which are viewed through 3D Eyewear. To play back 3D videos, simply insert an SD memory card in the slot of a Panasonic VIERA 3DTV or a side-by-side method compatible 3D TV

I bought this to replace a Panasonic PV-GS300 MiniDV camcorder that still works great. I was looking to move away from tape to make it easier to copy video clips to my DVR (MythTV) to share with family on the big screen. There were lots of warnings I found in my research about getting the 1080/60p footage to a computer, but I did not have any issue copying it directly to Win 7 with Sony Vegas Pro 10 installed. Even Windows Media player will play the clips. I did not install the Panasonic HD Writer AE 3.0 software.
I use the camcorder mostly in automatic mode and have been really happy with the results. The large focus ring is easy to use to either zoom or focus manually. I recently took it backpacking to grab videos and stills and found it convenient to take pictures while recording video. The camcorder is smaller than taking my Nikon D50 setup and the pictures in auto mode are excellent to capture the memories, not as good as the Nikon but I took more pictures than I would have if I lugged both cameras with me.
I was a little surprised when I hooked this up to the computer that the files were read-only. I guess they want to make sure you do not accidentally delete video and pictures. You must delete them from the menu on the camcorder or set it to record only to the SD card and use a card reader. I have a 64GB SDXC Class 10 card installed, but so far I have barely used half the 32GB of the internal memory.
The menu system is a little confusing as they have Quick menus and the main menu. Some things only exist in the quick menu, so don't expect to find everything in the main menu. Quick menu items that have been handy are the backlight compensation and the pre-rec mode. It is fairly easy to switch the camera to manual focus mode if you need.
I had purchased a quality UV filter to protect the lens and the automatic lens cover. What I did not realize is that the camera flash is within the diameter of the filter threads. That means the flash can only work properly if I remove the filter, otherwise the flash reflects on the filter and washes out the picture. Not a big deal as I don't usually need the flash and it is simple to remove the filter when needed.
I'm happy with the low light performance as it is so much better than the GS300 I had. I was close to getting the Canon, but it was $500 more and the Panasonic was rated better for automatic mode. The Panasonic has the manual controls for when I get the time to compose and plan a shot, but mostly I don't have the time when trying to record the kids.

I can't figure out why reviews say this camcorder has great image quality.
I find I like a lot of things about this camcorder except the image quality.
It's not sharp and the picture is jerky. I can't find a easy way to produce a DVD that looks good without a lot of work.
Don't use a Mac. Imovie is useless.
My Canon HV20 beats this camcorder when it comes to HD footage.
I must be doing something wrong if everybody else loves the image it produces. I wanted a camcorder that doesn't use film and I chose the 900TM over a canon like the G10.
I will keep trying but I wish I hadn't bought this camcorder. Also the price has dropped over $200.00 or more since I bought mine. I will sell it back to B&H and buy a Canon if they would let me.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Primary projects include a 2-5 minute video for promoting a product or creating an illustration. The audio surprisingly is captured in five tracks so you can pick the one that sounds the best with little clean-up required in most closed situations. Most of our scenes are not low-lit which seems to be the weaker area of this camera. Very little sport shooting as well - so no need for the fast capture. Great fit for us!!

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Before buying I read all the reviews which were mostly positive but several comments about the fan noise. I HAVE NO FAN NOISE.
The video it produces is outstanding. The small size, which is common with most other camcorders today, prohibits me from doing much hand held shooting. The controls are placed where they should be and I just find it a joy to use.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
This camcorder is just OK.
I have used the Panasonic TM700. The TM900 is better in low light than the TM700. Howerver, it seems the video produced by the TM900 is not as sharp and as colorful as the video produced by the TM700 if you provide enough studio lighting for the TM700.
The TM900 does not come close to the dynamic range of colors produced by the Canon HFG10 when you are producing a video outside. Inside, the TM900 seemed to produce an image that was close and slightly sharper than the HFG10.
When I used the TM900 in portrait mode, the image was slightly underexposed and the color was flat.
This camcorder is nothing great, but just OK.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
I have to admit I was skeptical about this pint sized photog. I'm no DP by any means but needed to get something to shoot prof videos with ease and little education. This camera worked out great. Very easy to learn and start producing very nice work.
I was a little disapointed with the "24p Cinema" effect. I've Directed several projects on higher end camera and this version of a 24p is not very impressive. If you want 1080 at 60p, this is your baby! Very little post work to produce videos that my clients have been impressed with.
The menu takes a little getting used to and may seem a bit cumbersome but once you use it a few times you pick it up.
Wanring: if you are shooting with any lens cover or filter do not use the Image Stabilization, you will get serious vignette in the corners. Maybe picky but annoyed me the first few days ... just turn it off.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
I got this about 3 weeks ago and i use it every day to make videos.
Things that are great-
- Love the EVF
- great picture! people can't believe how such a small camera can create such dazzling video
- The actual camcorder itself just looks really sharp.
- love how there is both a Mic and headphone jack
- very comfortable in my hands
-the format works well with Sony Vegas which is what i use to edit
- many many more
Things I dislike-
- white balance can be wacky, I usually just set it to manual to fix it
- for me personally some parts of the menu are wacky.
Would I suggest this camcorder?
Yes! I wouldn't change my order or do anything differently if I could. Strongly suggest this!

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Great camera but the instruction manual is not user friendly. The camera has so many features you tend to trip over them moving around the camera. Also - when you set the features for filming and turn the camera off - some settings reset without warning - very frustrating. Downloading footage to a MAC is very complicated and the manual makes it more confusing.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Bought this recently in time for a spring break trip. This is my first HD camera and I must say I'm very happy with it. The picture is fantastic using the 1080p mode. Stability control is great and low light performance appears to be quite good too. Still pictures look very similar in quality to my Panasonic still camera, which was a nice surprise, although I don't expect to use this one for stills much. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm quite impressed.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Very happy with this camcorder. Have been trying it out in many different ways for two weeks and find its flexibility and quality of results to be extremely good. My main complaint is that even with wind noise supression turned on I seem to get a lot of wind noise in windy situations. Also I wish the still photos had more MP -- but that's not the main purpose I'll be using it for anyway.

This is a top notch camcorder. The videos are crystal clear and high quyalit. It's easy to use without reading the manual but it has so many features that I recommend reading it.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
I bought a TM700. Loved it. Bought a second, used, for more than what I paid for the first, cause they don't make them anymore! Needed another small, 3-chip Panny so I took the plunge and bought the TM900. (Insert record scratch here)....
I knew that it didn't have the same flip screen controls and I knew it didn't have a separate charger (how 1997 Canon Alura is that?). But I didn't think the batteries would be different! I have six batteries I use with my TM 700's and they are worthless for this cam! ARRRGGH!!
Also, the on off controls are different, using a sliding switch vs. the convenient thumbwheel switch, which was always accidentally switching to photo mode when you wanted a quick shot. So THAT'S a plus.
Other than the battery issue, it's a good camera - it's a Panasonic! The TM's have the BEST Image Stabilization I have ever seen. I can film a train going 60 mph one-handed while I match speed next to it on a freeway 500 ft away and it literally looks like you're using a dolly or cam-car. Quiet "blacks", saturated colors. Very nice 4:2:0 color space.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
I spent a couple of weeks researching all of the similar class cameras (Canon, Sony, etc,...) and I found that not only did the TM900 perform as well or better in all categories, it was considerably cheaper. I have always loved Panasonic products and was not surprised that this camera was of such a high quality. I am using this for business (shooting product demo videos) and family shots. I really like the shoe mount, viewfinder, external mic input among other things. The only thing I dont particularly like about this camera is the menu. It is a but cumbersome to navigate through but once you get the hang of it, there is really no major issue. All-in-all an exceptional product from one of the leaders in the camera industry.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
I use this camcorder for recording my family. The video quality is absolutely superior to the standard definition camera, with tapes, that I was previously using.
Positive - I've listed 11 of them:
1. The touch screen interface is very easy to use.
2. There are zoom controls on the edge of the flip-out screen that you can use, in addition to the zooming lever on the top of the device. It zooms at a single, moderate speed, which can help you if your notorious for zoom in and out too quickly.
3. The image stabilizer does an excellent job.
4. The camera will accept additional lenses.
5. The low-light recording is admirable.
6. You can attach a lamp to the camera to improve the lighting in dark areas.
7. You can record about 2.5 hours of video on the highest quality (1080p/60fps) with the built-in hard drive.
8. In addition to the Solid-State Drive on the camera, you can put in a memory card as large as 64GB.
9. When you close screen, it automatically puts the camera into a power save mode and covers the lense. The lense cover is built in. When you flip open the screen, its instantly on - no waiting.
10. The screen will rotate 180 degrees, making it easy to record yourself, when necessary.
11. I've had no problem with fan noise that some complain about. The fans seems to be quite, if not silent.
Negative - I've listed 4 of them:
1. The file format that it records in is very hard to find a media player that will play it smoothly, when you've recorded in the highest quality (1080p/60fps). Maybe the problem is that I only have a dual-core 3.0GHz CPU and need a better one for that good of an image, but I doubt it. The manual states that it may not be possible to find compatible software to play the video in the format that it's recorded. It records the video into .mts files, which can be dragged and dropped to your computer. If you use the Panasonic software, it will transfer the video to your computer as .mts2 files. After you've done that, if you run the decoding process, on that file, it will cut the frame rate in half from 60 to 30, but then my computer can play it in Windows Media Player without a problem. Letting the camera do this conversion process takes about twice as long as the length of the video, itself, though. The manual indicates that using your computer to do the conversion would take 20 hours for each hour of video if you had a quad-core Intel i7 2.8 GHz processor. I, like the book, recommend letting the video camera do the decoding.
2. The device only transfers the data to your computer at about 20MB/s. Whenever you have tens of GBs, this seems silly. It's USB 2.0, which has a theoretical limit of 60MB/s. For the price, I think they could've given it a faster SSD.
3. I would have preferred that it came with an HDMI cable, instead of component (red, green, blue) cable. If you want to get an HDMI, it needs to be a mini-HDMI on the end that plugs into the camera.
4. The Panasonic editing software seems to not recognize many file formats. It recognizes the .mts2 files, but it doesn't seem to recognize the .mts files.

Comments about Panasonic HDC-TM900 High Definition Camcorder:
Being a pro videographer, film maker for nearly 40 years I am a skeptic about these little cameras, but I have to say this Panasonic TM900 is outstanding. The image quality is amazing. The amount of video you are able to record onto the hard drive or the 32GB SD card just blows me away. We have all the full size pro cams and I can't believe this image is as good at the more expensive cameras. Go and get one now.
