Comments on Panasonic HDC-SD5

Although it's quite a bit more expensive, we still prefer Sony's HDR-SR8E as the king of consumer HD camcorders and Canon's HV20 as the most accomplished sub-£1,000 camcorder for the more serious videomaker. But the compactness of the HDC-SD5 makes it a very tempting proposition if sheer portability is a major concern. Image quality may not be as good as HDV, and it lacks a few important features for the enthusiast. However, it still shoots great video and is very comfortable to use - plus the increasingly low price of SD cards mean they could end up being the winner of the current camcorder format wars.
