Panasonic HDC-DX1 review

 

Panasonic's HDV DVD debut gets pretty close to perfection

Excellent controls ; Impressive features ; Stunning picture quality

Could be a touch cheaper ; Lack of manual focus ring

Panasonic's first disc-based HDV cam reveals everything that's good about high-definition video

An attractive offering from Panasonic, the HDC-DX1 is capable of delivering high definition video once its interface and menus have been mastered.

Sharp and clear images, vibrant colours

Design and interface make operation difficult and irritating at times

Panasonic HDC-DX1

 

Panasonic's high-def DVD camcorder impresses, but its lack of storage capacity is a worry.

And as impressive as our first impressions of the Panasonic HDC-DX1 were, we are a little wary of the limited storage capacity offered by 8cm DVDs. The upcoming high-definition hard-drive models from other manufacturers or the HDC-SD1, along with some...

In a world where image is everything, the Panasonic HDC-DX1 is a baffling creation. It's definitely one of the most…unique camcorders we've ever laid eyes upon. With so many internal commonalities shared with its oh-so-sexy sister model, the HDC-SD1,...

Video quality in bright light, - Manual controls

Load time / wait time, - Portability, - Editing frustrations with AVCHD format

Panasonic HDC-DX1 Camcorder Review

 

The HDC-DX1 and HDC-SD1 (both $1299 US MSRP) mark Panasonic's entry into consumer high definition video, and hey join a burgeoning niche of $1000 - $1300 HD camcorders. Unlike the SD1, which is the first HD consumer HD camcorder to use SD/SDHC media,...

Before assessing any AVCHD camcorder, we are forced to consider the state of the format. The new codec was announced jointly by its developers, Panasonic and Sony, about a year ago, and on paper it looked like a winner. Utilizing H.264 MPEG-4...

Panasonic HDC-DX1 First Impressions Camcorder Review

 

The Panasonic HDC-DX1 is a new, high-definition camcorder that uses the Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) recording format and records video to DVD disk and still pictures to SD and SDHC cards. Like its more expensive sibling - the HDC-SD1 -...

Panasonic HDC-DX1

 

The HDC-DX1 is equipped with three 1/4" CCDs, each with a gross pixel count of 560K, which is an identical imaging system to its more stylish cousin, the HDC-SD1. Therefore, you can expect both camcorders to produce the same image. In bright light, the...

Panasonic HDC-DX1

 

The Panasonic HDC-DX1 features three 1/4" CCDs, each with 560,000 gross pixels, which reduces to an effective pixel count of approximately 520,000. This is the same chip set found in the SD card-based equivalent camcorder, the HDC-SD1. We found a lot...

Amazing Value to break into HD!

 

For those understanding what it will take to get to HD at home - it's a "5". For those surpised by the new editing requirements for AVCHD - Blu Ray will be less than that. After hours of research, here's the top AVCHD after market compatible editing...

Awesome High Def home movies ; The 5.1 surround sound - (why did they not keep this on the 2nd generation?) ; EZ to navigate screens w/ toggle mouse ; 3" wide LCD screen ; EZ to find scenes/pics. I'm used to DV tapes of endless searching so this is...

Though the lithium battery will cover most avg. shooting lengths, price of 2nd battery as backup for long trips ($107 was the cheapest I could find) ; Not having even one media disk w/ camera ; Rear battery design looks awkward (Note to Panasonic...
