With Panasonic's own HDC-HS100 now available for around £50 more, and the SD memory-based HDC-SD9 coming in at under £400, the HDC-HS20 currently sits in a bit of a no-man's land within Panasonic's growing range of HD camcorders. Its performance is a little behind even the HDC-SD9 overall, and its low light abilities are noticeably inferior. Although the AFAE and other toushcreen features add a new dimension, and its 80GB of storage is generous, the HDC-HS20 needs to drop below £500 to offer compelling value.
