Panasonic HDC-HS20-K HD camcorder

 

A Full HD Panasonic camcorder with Intelligent Auto and an 80GB hard drive

Attractive and sturdy design, beginner-friendly modes and features, optical image stabiliser

Components could be of higher quality, outclassed by some of its rivals

The Panasonic HDC-HS20-K is a reasonable high-definition camcorder with some very user-friendly features. If you're new to video and want the Full HD treatment, this model mostly delivers.

Panasonic HDC-HS20

 

Point & shoot, very easy. On screen info tool very good. Incredibly easy to operate, even for my technophobic other half!!! Separate battery charging (without camcorder attached) excellent, means if you've got more than 1 battery (which is a necessity,...

No viewfinder (as for most new camcorders) which helped with shake, but once you get used to just using the lcd screen it's no problem. The zoom button needs practice but the on screen info lets you know when it happens.

Great Camera

 

It does not have an optical viewer so if you are shooting outdoors in the sunshine, be sure to have something to shade the LCD.

The video pictures from this camera are nothing short of outstanding. And easy to shoot. The touch screen is very easy to navigate and once you have set the camera up the way you want, it is just point and shoot. The Camera delivers a perfect picture...

It does use a lot of power. The standard battery gives only about 1 hour of HD maximum resolution

Panasonic HDC-HS20GN-K Digital Movie Camcorder

 

This is a great camcorder and certainly one that I would recommend. It gives you the option of recording your footage onto an internal hard drive or onto an SD card, which is a very handy feature if you get stuck for storage on one of these options....
