Mediocre LCD screen
Case feels a little fragile
The ergonomics of the HDC-SD900 aren’t the best – holding for long periods of time often gave a cramp in the wrist or arm
However this can be alleviated with a tripod.The biggest issue we had was that when recording in 1080p/50fps mode
The videos we captured were unusable on our Mac. Panasonic include software to import the high quality video to Windows
3D lens costs extra, User interface could do with an overhaul
The Panasonic HDC-SD900 is a tremendous 1080p camcorder that's ideal for advanced users, marrying great picture quality with excellent manual controls. Its 3D capability is an added bonus, but you'll need to pay extra for the compatible lens....

At a shade under £1000, this camera is not to be purchased on a whim, however we feel that the multitude of features and manual control settings really make this camcorder shine. If you are a budding filmmaker or want something more from your home movi...
Excellent picture quality, 1080/50p mode, Line in for an external mic, Excellent image stabilisation, Builtin viewfinder and focus ring
Mediocre LCD screen, Case feels a little fragile
The Panasonic SD900 camcorder produces the best quality picture on an AVCHD camcorder at the moment in terms of colour and detail, and things are even better in 1080/50p mode. It's just a shame the LCD screen isn't up to the job....
Overall, the HDC-SD900 is great value for money. I would rate its 2D picture quality as outstanding for the price and the feature spread ticks all the right boxes. As a hobbyist shooter it’s well above average, and for prosumers (needing 1080/50p) it ...
Fabulous HD image quality in both AVCHD and 1080/50p modes, comprehensive feature specification, excellent Hybrid Optical Image Stabilization system, bright 3.5-inch touchscreen monitor, 3D ready
Optional 3D conversion lens is expensive at £280, 3D depth can seem a little restricted, and you can't zoom
The HDC-SD900 is an affordable 3MOS camcorder capable of stunning HD image quality. While its 1080/50p shooting mode will have pro-users salivating, the rest of us will not be left wanting by its AVCHD performance. Throw in some of the best IA manageme...

excellente qualité vidéo 2D, bague de mise au point, enregistrement audio 5.1.
accessoire 3D assez cher, 3D uniquement en vidéo, impossible de zoomer en 3D, réglages manuels non-possibles en mode 3D, faible définition de l'écran.
Au regard de ses caractéristiques, le SD900 possède le profil d'un caméscope musclé. Après un premier modèle limité, Panasonic propose une nouvelle gamme de caméscopes capables de filmer en 3D. Gadget ou must ?...
Excellente qualité d'image, Mode 1080/50p, Entrée micro, Très bon stabilisateur d'image, Viseur intégré + bague de mise au point
Ecran LCD moyen, Boîtier un peu "toc"
Le SD900 est le caméscope AVCHD fournissant la meilleure qualité d'image HD du moment (couleur, piqué). Une qualité encore accrue en mode 1080/50p. Dommage que l'écran LCD n'ait pas suivi......
