Pros + lens ring with lots of maunal settings
+ Acceptable wide-angle
+ Good lowlight characteristics
Cons -average sharpness
-menu-structure and menu-handling
- No FullHD
-3CCDs with pixelshif do not result in full sharpness
-fan
Conclusion This is going in the right direction.More manual control is what is missing with most of the current AVCHD cams.And this is exactly what Panasonic is delivering.Thanks to histogramm, zebra, luma display and expanded focus manual control is better than on any other camera below 1000 Euros.The somewhat below average sharpness of the camera is something one can live with, but there are also one or two other minor things on this camera which could have been solved better.But definitely one of the most interesting newcomers 2008In our opinion the SD1 is the best AVCHD Cam by Panansonic, and it remains competitive in 2008 thanks to its wide-angle and lowlight characteristics .
