Panasonic HDC-SD1
Reviewer: Digitaltrends27 June 2007- Overall 8
This camcorder is amazing. I’m not given to hyperbole but the HDC-SD1 is at the top of the pack for consumer camcorders circa early 2007.

clearest movies
Reviewer: exilim, ReviewView08 January 2008- Overall 4
This camcorder delivers the clearest home movies I have seen so far. I like it because It fits snugly in my hand I can shoot the movies with just one hand. The camera also comes with convenient transfer options to transfer movies to other mediums like dvds, memory cards, etc.. Also, the design is pretty sharp and is agreat conversation starter when I take it out in public. Read more

Cooling fan motor whines as it ages
Reviewer: Jkoch, Digitaltrends16 October 2007- Overall 3
The reviewer writes: "In case you're wondering why this camcorder has a cooling fan and vents there's a reason it definitely got warm after a long period use but nothing that's a real botherit's just there." My observation, after 7 months: the motor noise becomes noticeable in the video audio. Read more
