Panasonic HDC-SX5 Review

Sep 17 2007, 7:00am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Our partner Digital Trends published a review of the Panasonic HDC-SX5 AVCHD camcorder. Panasonic introduced the HDC-SX5 in July.

Quote from the review: "They may only be small numbers now because they cost so much but high-def camcorders are definitely the future of home video. Panasonic is helping out by lowering the cost of entry to below $1,000--$899 USD to be exact for the new HDC-SX5 that’s due any week now. And it’s a rather unique AVCHD camcorder since it records at a full 1920 x 1080i—the upper limit of the format—compared to the usual 1440 x 1080i of models we’ve review before such as the Sony HDR-CX7 and Panasonic’s HDC-SD1.Now AVCHD matches HDV, the tape-based format whose quality we like so much —at least on paper. We’ll get into this as we dig deeper into the innards of this camcorder. "
