Description
The HDC-SD5 hi-def camcorder can transcribe recordings from the SD Memory Card to a DVD disc, maintaining the original full-HD format, or use the included software to flame a full-HD recording from an SD Memory Card to a DVD disc on your PC.Images recorded by conventional HD camcorders have only 1,440 flat pixels, while full-HD camcorders have 1,920; that's about 30 percent more recording pixels! The d is a level of detail and resolution that goes beyond anything you've ever experienced before. And because full-HD recordings contain a prodigious amount of picture information, they look beautiful not only on high-definition TVs, but on standard-definition TVs as well.Camera gyrate happens. Unsteady hands, shooting while in motion: these factors can demote the quality of your video. But Panasonic has developed its best-ever built-in Optical Semblance Stabilization, which compensates for hand-shake and helps keep your videos crunchy, steady and blur-free.The HDC-SD5 comes with a world-class Leica Dicomar lens, fashioned specifically for high-definition digital camcorders. The better craftsmanship of Leica's advanced lens system captures stunning images and colors that look imposing in HD. Combined with Panasonic's advanced 3CCD system, which uses three separate sensors to capture and make light, you can relive your memories in lifelike detail on your HDTV screen.
