Last week, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.(Panasonic) had unveiled what they claim to be the world’s smallest High-Definition camcorder. The Panasonic HDC-Sd7 measures just 52 x110 x 87mm and weighs only 350 grams including the memory card and battery.
Though being the smallest it’s easy on the handling aspect as well as operating it will be a breeze. It packs a 3CCD sensor behind the 10x zoom lens and has a 2.7″ crystal clear LCD monitor to shoot and view videos. It uses an SD memory card as a recording medium. Hmm, now that explains how they got it that small, when compared to the other HD cameras that employs a DVD or hard disk drive.
The HDC-SD7 records full HD footage at 1,920 pixel by 1,080 pixel. At the average 9Mbps (bits per second) rate, a 4GB SD card can hold up to 60 minutes of video, said Panasonic ( supplied).
This camera along with its brother the SD5 is to be launched in September this year. I wonder “what all” we could record with a HD camera of this size

I tested this camera for a client. I didn’t have the light running for more than 15 minutes. The battery lasted approximately 6 hours before recharging. The LCD, however, had a few dead pixels - never saw this before. Tried returning for exchange and had to put up quite a fight. Anyone else seen this? http://www.batteryfast.co.uk
