Panasonic HDC-SD60 Camcorder

About this product

Product Information

The SD60 Series features a 25x optical zoom and an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all the way up to 35x. When using intelligent zoom, Intelligent Resolution technology lets you shoot at high zoom rates while preserving the image resolution. You get sharp images of highly detailed objects - without the blurry edges. Plus, Power O.I.S. suppresses even slight hand-shake, which is a must for extreme zooming, because of its high susceptibility to hand-shake.The 35.7mm wide-angle lens on the SD60 Series fits more people and more of the background into the frame than a conventional 44.1mm lens. This is especially handy when you want to take a group photo in a small room. It fits your subjects in even when you shoot from up close, and makes it possible to pick up even small sounds with the microphone. It also gives you more ways to enjoy your camcorder, like taking self portraits or capturing sweeping landscapes without losing the sense of scale.

Good quality and value for money
The Panasonic HDC-SD60 offers great value for money for a second hand video camera. Image quality is good, it's not 4k but then 4k is a lot more expensive. Easy to get batteries or a charger, you can record a lot on a 32GB SD card, battery lasts a reasonable amount of time (over an hour) and very simple to use.

Great little camcorder!
I had one of these a few years ago from new but I sold it to buy bigger and better with more features. After 3 years I wished I hadn't sold it so bought another second hand. It's a great little camcorder with enough features for the enthusiast but simple enough for the occasional user. Be careful not to close the screen while recording, the camera will keep recording even though you think it is switched off! It will record until the SD card is full or the battery runs out! As with all cameras like this it is prone to wlnd noise when used outdoors and there is little that can be done about it. The wind-cut feature helps only slightly and wind muffs seem ineffective. Most cameras are the same so you have to live with it!
