Panasonic HDC-SX5 Camcorder Review at Camcorder Info

Camcorder Info have published a "First Impressions" review of the new Pansonic HDC-SX5 camcorder. 'The front of the Panasonic HDC-SX5 borrows a lot of its looks from its predecessor, the HDC-DX1 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $1119.99). It appears that Panasonic has chosen, at least for the time being, not to release another purely DVD AVCHD camcorder. The HDC-SX5 features a new Leica Dicomar 10x optical zoom with a 37mm filter diameter. It has a focal range of F3.0 – 30.0mm (35mm equiv = 42.9 – 429mm) and an aperture of f/1.8 – 2.8. Like the HDC-DX1 and HDC-SD1 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $1119.99), the lens is partially concealed by a matte box that can be screwed on and off. To the side of the lens is the flash. Underneath is the remote sensor. There are no front-mounted ports here, and no manual focus ring, either, sorry.'
