Panasonic HDC-SD900 review

 

A Full HD camcorder brimming with manual controls and 14.2MP stills

Superior movie quality ; Digital Cinema mode ; Tactile and large 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD ; Range of manual and advanced features ; Quality of 14.2MP stills

Viewfinder too small/unnecessary ; Best audio requires external mic ; Practical 3D shooting still some way off

Panasonic is quite possibly trying to hit every target with the HDC-SD900 – and it may just do it. This is a Full HD 1920 x 1080/50p camcorder, which benefits from three 2.53MP sensors, uses the AVCHD recording format and has enough manual features and...

Panasonic HDC-SD900

 

Panasonic has slashed the entry price of DIY 3D by expanding its range of 3D compatible camcorders and making the conversion lens an optional £280 accessory. You can now step up to 3D via the £899 HDC-SD900, the most affordable new member of the...

Fabulous HD image quality in both AVCHD and 1080/50p modes, comprehensive feature specification, excellent Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization system, bright 3.5-inch touchscreen monitor, 3D ready

Optional 3D conversion lens is expensive at £280, 3D depth can seem a little restricted, and you can’t zoom

Overall, the HDC-SD900 is a terrific high-def camcorder. The fact that you can bolt a 3D lens on should be considered a secondary bonus. The model is light, has a superior Leica-certified lens and delivers astonishingly fine pictures. For those that...

Panasonic HDC-SD900 review

 

The Panasonic HDC-SD800 impressed us with its superb image quality. The HDC-SD900 has the same sensor and lens, but adds a high-resolution screen, some additional controls and an electronic viewfinder.

Amazing video quality and easy to use manual controls. The best high-end camcorder we've seen.

Panasonic HDC-SD900

 

The Panasonic HDC-SD900 is aimed discerning consumer who is looking for quality over style. At 66mm x 72mm x 146mm (W/H/D), the HDC-SD900 is not a pocket friendly camera, but it makes up for it with features. We got about 120 minutes out of the battery...

At a shade under £1000, this camera is not to be purchased on a whim, however we feel that the multitude of features and manual control settings really make this camcorder shine. If you are a budding filmmaker or want something more from your home...

Panasonic HDC-SD900 camcorder

 

Review The HDC-SD900 was the first of Panasonic's expanded 3D camcorder range to arrive in the UK. It sits below the HDC-TM900 and HDC-HS900 (which offer 32GB memory and 220GB HDD respectively), but shares the same functionality, recording Full HD and...

Overall, the HDC-SD900 is great value for money. I would rate its 2D picture quality as outstanding for the price and the feature spread ticks all the right boxes. As a hobbyist shooter it’s well above average, and for prosumers (needing 1080/50p) it...

Panasonic HDC-SD900

 

The SD900 is part of the next crop of camcorders that focus on image quality. There's also a set of fun features thrown in for good measure too, with an optional 3D lens and touchscreen.

1080p @ 50 fps

cool stuff like timelapse can only be done in 1080i and only on Panasonics terms which is really rubbish. Battery can only be charged in camera. Has a built in fan to keep it cool and like all mechanical things this is bound to clog or fail long before...
