Product Description
The Panasonic HDC-HS9 offers full High-Definition, 1920 x 1080 progressive recording (24 frames per second) and use the AVCHD video format. In addition, it features Panasonic's original 3CCD system, Advanced MEGA O.I.S. Optical Image Stabilizer, and a Leica Dicomar lens. Advanced MEGA O.I.S. checks and compensates for handshake around 4,000 times per second, about eight times more effectively than Panasonic's previous systems. In a 3CCD camera system, the light received through the lens is split into its three primary color components and a signal from each is processed by one of the 3CCDs to provide rich and detailed video images. Face Detection automatically locates any faces in the picture and adjusts the exposure, contrast and skin tone to achieve optimal results. With Intelligent Shooting Guide, the HDC-HS9 will detect when shooting conditions are poor and then display tips on the LCD as a way for you to correct the error before recording the content. Intelligent Shooting Guide can detect errors when the camcorder is panning too quickly or tilted, when the user's hand is swinging, when the subject is backlit, or the lighting is too low. The HS9 is a hybrid model and can record full-High Definition images onto either an SD (or SDHC) Memory Card or to its built-in 60-GB hard disk. The 60-GB hard disk can hold up to 23 hours. Starts recording just 0.6 second from the time the LCD is opened, making it easier to catch those special moments that come with no warning

 Great product! September 11, 2008

I researched many HD video cameras and was very happy with this one! I wanted the latest technology and a great picture. The picture quality is fantastic! Just make sure to use the image stabilizer or the video may be a little shaky.
 included software is out of date September 11, 2008

The camera is fine but the manual and included software are junk. Software will not install with XP sp3. The manual is poorly organized and very poorly written. I will not buy another item from Panasonic.

I love this piece of equipment. While it is expensive; I got a great price at Amazon.com compared to going to Best Buy. Versatile and easy to use with beautiful sharp video and snapshots which I paired with a Panasonic Viera HDTV and my video life will never be the same.

I have always purchase Sony camcorders but the last few years Sony has become very bad quality and breaks down all the time. I am so pleased and very happy with my new Panasonic camcorder. I have never had a Sony camcorder that could perform like this new Panasonic.
I recommend Panasonic and this camcorder. Also recommend NEVER to purchase any of Sony junk products.
Great camera especially for the cost. June 19, 2008

Love it. The only "bad" thing is how grainy it is when recording inside without a lot of bright light. But from what I've read and heard most are this way.
