Panasonic HDCSD9 Camcorder

The Panasonic HDC-SD9 features Advanced O.I.S. and the 3CCD camera system. The 3CCD camera system is used in most professional broadcasting equipment because it draws out the full potential of full-HD

Most professional broadcasting cameras use the 3CCD camera system, with its superior color reproduction. In a 1CCD system, all of the incoming light information is processed by the same CCD. The more advanced 3CCD system uses three distinct CCDs for processing, so there is absolutely no light loss. The 3CCD camera system draws out the full potential of full-HD image quality.

10x Optical Zoom Distant subjects can be enlarged so they appear to be right up close. This allows dynamic shots of both motion and still pictures. This model offers the high quality wide images that make for beautiful, dramatic viewing on a wide-screen TV. The image is processed on 16:9 area of the CCD. This model also features a high-density, 300,000-dot, wide 2.7-inch LCD, making it easier to frame shots when you're shooting in 16:9 mode.

Other features include; Advanced O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilizer), HD Crystal Engine, 5.1 Channel Surround Sound and Zoom Microphone and Focus Microphone, Focus Assist, Face Detection, Intelligent Shooting Guide, Intelligent Shooting Selection Playback, Intelligent Contrast Control and more.
