Panasonic HDC-SD600K Camcorder

Panasonic's HDC-SD600K Camcorder offers up 1920 x 1080p high definition recording, SD/SDHC/SDXC storage, and a plethora of additional features and functions for one outstanding value. You'll be shooting high def video, capturing up to 14.2MP stills, and getting as much help as you need from the camera's extensive menu of assist functions. Features like 18x Intelligent Zoom, Digital Cinema Mode, and Powered Optical Image Stabilization are just a few of the ways the SD600K helps you capture beautiful footage, that will become cherished memories.

At the heart of the SD600 is the camera's 3MOS image sensor, Panasonic's proprietary CMOS sensor. The 3MOS works together with the company's Crystal Engine PRO to capture stunning video and still images. Of course, every camera also needs a lens to make the magic happen, and Panasonic gave this cam a 35mm wide-angle Leica Dicomar lens for bright, clean HD images. Other image capture tools in the SD600's core arsenal include Intelligent Resolution Technology and a generous 2.7" touch screen LCD for composition and review of your footage.

No matter if you're capturing video or still images the HDC-SD600 records to SD/SDHC/SDXC flash memory cards. Compact and lightweight, these cards hardly take up any space at all in your camera bag; and they're super-easy to upload to your computer for editing and sharing with the included HD Writer AE2.1 software once the shoot is over. The camcorder also features connection to optional DVD burners for sharing your memories with friends and family on hard copy.

As previously mentioned, the features and functions of the SD600 are numerous. There's a way to make all your photos and videos look great! For example, using the Smile Shot still image function, you can be sure not to miss your subject's smiles. The function automatically takes a picture while you're shooting video, when your subject's present their best smiles. Smile Shot gives you options too - you can set the function to snap a photo when a certain person smiles, when a whole group smiles, or to capture the smile of a moving subject!

Additional useful, and fun, functions include time lapse recording, Face Recognition and Face Detection, assorted scene modes, and Pre-Rec, among many others! Even if you're just beginning your adventures with video, the HDC-SD600 is there to provide all the help you could need!
