Introduction: Panasonic HDC-SX5 belongs to compact range of camcorders that can be well labeled as palmcorders owing to their extremely compact size and shape. Equipped with unique features like Panasonic 3 CCD camera system and Advanced O.I.S technologies, HDC SX5 is striving to outperform other camcorders in the market.

Features: The most striking feature of HDC-SX5 is that you can shoot a video with 1920x1080 pixel resolution that too in AVCHD format. This footage can be later played on a Blu-ray disc player for viewing. The overall recording time the user can enjoy by recording on both SD card and DVD-R Dual-layer disc is 180 minutes which is not bad at all.

Pros:

•  Whether you are shooting a still object or an object that is in motion, you can make full use of the Leica Dicomar 10x optical zoom lens this device is endowed with and take a better picture with an enlarged view and the pictures are shake-free.
• The Intelligent Contrast Control features help maintain the brightness and the colors of the picture at the right level. The colors also look bright & clear and the fringing and hazing that is usually found in color images is practically absent from the pictures shot with HDC-SX5.
• This camcorder happens to be a hybrid one and offers dual means of storage for your recorded material. You can record the footage either to an SD memory card or to a blank DVD.
• Being a palmcorder, it fits neatly into your palm and is extremely easy to carry around.

 Cons:

• Batteries performance is not up to-the-mark.
• A major drawback about using DVD disc is that you’ll have to wait ages for the DVD disk to be ejected out.
• Battery looks ridiculously large & unappealing and clumsy to hold.

Pricing Range: Pay in range of $477.73 - $905.95 to own this Hybrid Silver Palmcorder and enjoy the best HD experience!
