A review of Panasonic’s latest high-definition digital camcorder has been released by technology site Cnet.co.uk . The Panasonic HDC-SD5 is similar to the earlier SD1 model, but has been redesigned so it is easier to hold, with an upward-sloping section making it easy to grip.The camera is also small enough to fit into a handbag or jacket pocket, which may make the model appealing to consumers who prefer their cameras on the smaller side.

But despite its miniature appearance, this camera comes with a range of features, such as a 2.7 inch LCD so that users can see what is being recorded. This monitor itself has a 300,000 pixel resolution as well as a wide-range viewing angle, meaning that images appear clear and sharp to the users.

Meanwhile, the resolution of the lens has been improved from the older SD1 model, with 1,920×1,080 pixels now being offered.

Overall, the camera is noted by the site for the “excellent” standard of its images, as well as a range of other features. However, the size of the memory on this offering is the only thing that lets it down, the review claims.

Meanwhile, Tech.co.uk notes that the new model does not have a number of features when compared to the older version.
