Review on πŸŽ₯ Panasonic HDC-SD60S Silver HD Camcorder with 35X Intelligent Zoom (SD-Based) - Discontinued by Kichiro Diaz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

I took to replace my two-year-old Samsung HMX10. Panasonic HDC-SD60 is probably the best value and best choice among Full HD cameras under 20,000. Very convenient control, clear menu, good picture. I don’t consider the lack of shooting modes in standard resolutions to be a disadvantage - it’s simply not needed. There are Full HD modes with different bitrates - that's enough. And in order to shoot in standard definition - why buy a Full HD camcorder, and then record it in the camera's shortcomings. For example, in two years of using the Samsung HMX10, I have never shot in SD. And if you really need it, you can also re-digitize, which allows the software that comes with the camera (we choose MPEG2). I do not agree that there is a lack of color - I did not notice either when viewed on a computer or when viewed on a TV - the colors are correct, natural. I would not say that the battery life is short - I have 1.5 hours to shoot. I really liked the camera.

Pros
  • Workmanship, video and photo quality, excellent work of the optical stabilizer, 25th optical zoom, xenon flash for photos, battery charging from USB, scene programs for video and photography, price, etc., etc. .
Cons
  • For a Full HD camcorder in this price range, I'd say they just don't exist.

Pros: Shooting quality: good zoom, stabilizer, sensitivity. With its cons. The standard battery lasts for 1 hour. The charger only charges the battery through the camera when it is turned off. I am very unhappy with this. It had to be invented.
