Photos: Hands-on with the Panasonic HDC-SD5

Say hola, bienvenue, wotcher to the Panasonic HDC-SD5. It's an SD-card-based 3CCD hi-def camcorder, and is even smaller than its predecessor, the SD1. And that's pretty dinky.

As on Panasonic's stills cameras, the SD5's Dicomar lens is designed by Leica. There are no moving parts in the recording section, which means it should be resistant to impact and tough conditions. We wouldn't chuck it about too much, though.
