The HDC-SD80 is not quite Panasonic’s budget model, but it’s close. The small 1/5.8in CMOS sensor still delivers decent colour performance, although detail is down on higher-end members of the range, such as the HDC-SD90. You still get Panasonic’s characteristically good level of manual control, and the touch-screen LCD allows a range of touch-operated functions.
