Panasonic has unveiled the HDC-SX5 and HDC-SD5 High Definition camcorders that are extremely portable. In fact, the latter has been dubbed the “smallest palm-style 3CCD full HD camcorder in the world”. Strangely enough, both devices don’t shoot 1080p, which leads me to wonder where the “full HD” compliment comes in. The HDC-SX5 is the cheaper of the two, and comes with a couple of recording choices – SD cards and regular DVDs. As for the slimmer HDC-SD5, it uses only SD memory cards as the storage medium of choice. The Panasonic HDC-SX5 and HDC-SD5 will retail for $900 and $1,000 respectively.
