@xtramilkindamornin Hi - I have had HDC-HS100 for over a year now, and use it for semi-pro video recording with external XLR phantom powered studio qual mics; but resultant AVHCD converted to HQ Standard Def. Am v happy with results.
By default the camera records in 16:9; but if using the camera to playback via it's TV connections - the aspect ratio is (camera software) menu selectable to suit the the TV it's connected to ie either 4:3 or 16:9
No it does not, THIS IS A FACT, Panasonic has confirmed. It was not something i missed (I'm not blind). It doesn't have the possibility to shoot in the 25PsF moode as the earlier model HDC-SD9 had. This is a big drawback, everything else is better on HDC-SD100.
I had hdc-sd9, that recorded 1080 50i or 25p. I wanned more control over the focus and be able to plug in a mic, so I got this camera; hdc-sd100. I had to return it!
THIS ONLY RECORDS 1080 50i, INTERLACED. It does NOT record 25p, progressive. We confermed that in the store when i returned it.
It shoots 50i and 25p. It records 50i as 50i, it records 25p as 25PsF. The latter is technically interlaced, but contains progressive video. You had to research the camera better before returning it (or before buying it).

I have the HDC-SD100 and it gives me 1080p progressive scan (non-intertalced); which assumes the 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, creating a a frame resolution of 1920×1080. That is all Full HD means.
What does it mean to you? Maybe you are referring to 2K/4K Digital Cinema Technology or Ultra-High Definition?
Please clarify what you mean by, "it does not record in full HD"?
i've recently baught this camcorder.Unfortunately videos i have posted on youtube are dim ,i'm disappointed about that.I've used a converter ,still i got no real improvement
Ich fasse es ja nicht!
Wie kann man denn nur so TOP-Cam wie die Panasonic HDC SD100 nur mit einer Auflösung von 360p präsentieren...?
Das ist ja schon beinahe eine Beleidigung...!

Thanks for your comment .
can you recommend a better camcorder that would provide hd picture on youtube
fojeba 3 years ago
Check out the Panasonic HVX200A or the HPX 170.
Slightly more expensive but a lot more versatile.
