Panasonic HDC - SD9 3CCD - Full HD Camcorder AVCHD

3ccd camera System
Full HD 1920x1080p
10x Optical Zoom (very poor)
Only RM$2,799 in Malaysia.

I am testing the quality on the Latest model Panasonic HDC-SD9 (new). The camcorder is only 65x67x126mm in size and weighs about 275g. Videos at 25fps(still poor),I prefer Panasonic try to made use 30fps. The camcorder look great but the software came with was sucks! U have to use another software.

Small doesn't mean necessarily mean satisfying, though. Record in a modern format called AVCHD (H.264), which requires up-to-dated software to edit. Worse, the format files don't work with the latest version of Apple's movie-editing software, so Mac user, beware.

It shaped more like a traditional tubelike horizontal camcorder. It record onto memory cards. You can jump from scene to scene without ever rewinding or fast forwarding.

First, these model have zero wide angle-zip. It's as though they're stuck zoomed in. To get an entire 6ft tall person in the frame, you have to back up 15ft - too far away to hear what your subject is saying.

Just using simple Computer Window XP, very cheap old Compaq Evo 610 Laptop Intel pentium 4 1.7hz processor chip, 769mb memory.
1. Getting raw video files: mts format file.(mts is latest Mpeg file)
2. They are many user out there are still searching for a right converter software. My results here is, I use simple Winavi Converter V7.6 to avi (ZJMedia MPEG Encoder)1280x720 30fps 4000kbps (It's working fine)
3. Last, by using Total Video Converter to Xvid Mpeg-4 320x240 1200kbps.
4. After upload to youtube.

See the result here before of thinking buying it.

Panasonic say: don't compromise convenience for quality, because Panasonic has made technology extremely easy with the HDC-SD9 Camcorder. This is the world's smallest and lightest high definition video recorder to use an SD card. Face Detection and the Intelligent Shooting Guide comes with each camcorder for only US$799.

I saved it as a WMV in 1440 x 1080 and it came out with the "high quality" option on youtube.

First I converted the hd file into an mpeg2 then I editted then I saved the file under- windows media 9 HD high quality. (which is the highest quality windows media file available to my editor.)-PowerDirector.
