Now we've had a chance to give Panasonic's HDC-SD9 a proper going over, we can't help being rather bowled over. It's definitely not a camcorder for the serious hobbyist, even if it can shoot great-quality video in all but the worst lighting conditions. But for the everyday camcorder user, the HDC-SD9 really showcases what Flash memory has going for it. It's unfeasibly tiny and light, yet packs a lot of features and impressive HD video quality. At under £600, it's not outrageously expensive, either, and you can now pick up a 16GB SDHC card for about £50. The HDC-SD9 is certainly the most exciting camcorder we've seen so far this year.

What a bad review; I can't tell if you like the camcorder or hate it! Did you read this before you posted? I have the camcorder, and its great; paid 700$ and got 8GB card for 65$; no hard drive = no break SD cards are the future of camcorders and home movies! Panasonic invented optical stability (electronic decreases image quility) and even at 10x zoom the cam dose not shake. Great images the contrast and density are perfect! A very long scale of contrast. very happy with the camcorder!
