Panasonic's high-def HDC-SD9 features a sleek, compact design that's perfect for folks who want to travel light. This tiny cam records videos in sharp 1080i resolution and stores them on SD memory cards, for vacation videos that will look stunning on your HDTV when you get home.

Three image sensors for vivid, lifelike video
Most cams use a single image sensor, but this Panasonic employs one for each of the three primary video colors. Your movies will glow with rich colors — from turquoise ocean waves to vivid emerald green grass on a soccer field. Optical image stabilization reduces camera shake to keep your footage looking smooth.

Helpful extras and convenient controls
Widescreen mode lets you record videos that match the shape of your HDTV, without stretching or distorting the picture. The built-in zoom mic automatically pinpoints the sound of your distant subject as you zoom in, for clear, distraction-free audio. And full manual mode gives you greater creative control — adjust white balance, shutter speed, and focus to give your recordings just the right look.

Options for sharing and archiving your footage
Send high-def video and digital audio to a compatible TV through a single convenient HDMI cable (not included). You can also transfer videos to your PC via the cam's USB port. The included editing software lets you apply finishing touches to your movies. Burn them to DVDs you can share with friends and family using your PC's DVD burner.
