This camcorder can't do 1080p as stated

By Joe6Pax (amazon.com) Read the full review

The item description states "Captures 1080p HD video" but the Panasonic website says otherwise: "RECORDING & PLAYBACK Signal System 1080 / 60i." So it only does 1080i not 1080p. False advertising.

Panasonic HDC-SD10 review

By Jonathan Parkyn (cnet.co.uk)

If small size and low weight are important considerations, but you don't want the poor-quality video that's typical of pocket camcorders, you should consider the Panasonic HDC-SD10

Small and light ; Welcome balance between simplicity and advanced features ; Pleasing video picture quality

Weak photo quality ; Some construction issues ; Over-eager autofocus

Conclusion The Panasonic HDC-SD10 isn't perfect by a long shot, but, overall, the good points outweigh the bad. Combining small size and convenience with decent performance, Panasonic's petite video star is simple enough for first timers, yet offers...

Panasonic HDC-SD10 camcorder

By Anthony Dhanendran (computeractive.co.uk)

High-definition video, recorded straight to a memory card

Easy to use; memory card shooting is cheap and convenient; superb quality in slow-moving scenes

Motion blur was a problem; relatively expensive

A decent camera, but better results can be had without spending much more

Panasonic HDC-SD10 review

By Gary (tracyandmatt.co.uk)

There is a dilemma, if you bought the TM10 instead of this (for around £25-30 more) you would get the same camera but with 8GB of internal memory or you could buy the SD10 without the internal memory but with the savings go out and buy a larger memory...

Whichever choice you make, it will be a good one

Panasonic HDC-SD10 Video Camera

By Abbas Jaffar Ali (tbreak.com)

The SD-10 is targeted towards the casual user that will have the camera on auto mode pretty much all the time.

The SD-10 is targeted towards the casual user who wants to record decent quality videos without really getting in the details and manually adjusting settings. From that aspect, its a decent camera and at a retail price of AED 2399/- makes it a good...
