The Panasonic HDC-SD60 High Definition Camcorder is an entry-level HD camcorder for those looking to break into high def recording without breaking the bank. The SD60 records 1920 x 1080i video and 5MP stills to removable SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, using a 1/4.1" CMOS sensor as its engine. Tools like 25x optical zoom and 35 Intelligent Zoom, Power Optical Image Stabilization, and a touch screen 2.7" LCD screen all help to capture your footage with clarity.
When it comes to practical and user-friendly features the HDC-SD60 has a number of options that help to create beautiful and accurate video and stills. Face Recognition ensures that up to 6 faces in a shot are clear and in focus. iA (Intelligent Auto) also helps take the guesswork out of recording by automatically adjusting the camera to the right settings for the situation. You'll also benefit from features like Eco Mode, the Auto Power LCD, and others.
