Some memories are too precious to lose.

That's why Panasonic's SD10 is the world's lightest full High Definition camcorder - meaning you can always have one to hand. So when one of life's unforgettable moments takes place, you'll be able to capture it there and then, in stunning Full-HD. Intelligent Auto Mode automatically chooses the right shooting setting. And with touch screen AF Tracking, you can choose the person you want to remain in focus - however much they wobble. Because capturing every moment in HD matters. Everything Matters.




The Power Of Full-HD Camcorders
Images recorded by conventional HD camcorders have only 1,440 horizontal pixels, while Full-HD camcorders have 1,920. In terms of total pixels, conventional HD camcorders record images with 1.55 million pixels, while those from our Full-HD camcorders have around 2.07 million pixels - about 30% more. The result is a level of detail and resolution that goes beyond anything you've experienced before. And because Full-HD recordings contain a vast amount of picture information, they look beautiful not only on HD TVs, but on standard-definition TVs as well.



Intelligent Auto Mode - Just Aim And Shoot!
The iA function automatically activates convenient functions during shooting. These include the AF/AE Tracking, which keeps the subject in sharp focus and properly exposed even if it moves around to ensure continuously beautiful image quality. The iA function, including Face Detection, Advanced O.I.S., Intelligent Contrast Control and Intelligent Scene Selector, produces outstanding results under virtually all shooting conditions so just aim and shoot!



The World's Lightest Compact Camcorders
Weighing only 227g (0.50 lb), the HDC-SD10 is the light weight camcorder and offers fatigue-free use even for long shooting sessions. Its compact size lets it fit into the palm of the hand, for anywhere, anytime recording of high-quality, 1920 × 1080 full-HD images. This compact camcorder can be easily slipped into a handbag or a pocket, ready to capture video images with snapshot ease.

The high-powered 16x optical zoom clearly captures even distant subjects, while the Advanced O.I.S. minimises blurring. This stabilization function is essential for preserving full-HD image quality when zooming, where hand-shake increases proportionally to the level of magnification. Advanced O.I.S., which detects and corrects for hand-shake around 4,000 times per second, combines with the 16x optical zoom to produce clear, stable zoom shots. And because the function is optical, there's minimal loss of image quality.

Panasonic's Advanced O.I.S. helps suppress the effects of hand-shake as you shoot, for both motion and still images. The new Active mode also extends the hand-shake correction range to allow shooting while walking or otherwise moving. Its powerful corrective effect reduces the kind of hand-shake that often occurs when shooting on the move, to ensure crisp, clear images.

i have this camera and its awsome, its very small very light and very easy to use, the only draw back is the battery is a bit rubish, it will only run for aroun 1 hr 30 minutes, so i would sugest buying another battery, but dont let that put you off, i can fit this unit in my coat pocket without it bieng to bulky so for instance i went to london to see something and i did not need a bulky camera bag, i just put this unit in my pocket.
