  Panasonic HDC-SD100
  By Roger Hibbert
  
  Review summary: You've longed to document your fascinating life for some time now, but you just haven't found the right lightweight HD camcorder. Well, here's the perfect tool for it: The Panasonic HDC-SD100 3CMOS camcorder can shoot 1080i HD video or 2.1-megapixel ...
  
  Pros: Lighter than a feather in deep space. Useful remote lets you direct scenes from afar. Manual focus offers extra control not found in many other cams. Included 8-GB SD card gets you up and running on the quick.

  Panasonic HDC-SD100
  By Colin Barrett
  
  Review summary: Panasonic's SD100 is one of two new products to have been given not one but three MOS imaging sensors in place of the traditional three CCD pickups. Like its hybrid 60GB HDD/SDHC sibling, the HDC-HS100, Panasonic's new model generates full high ...
  
  Verdict: The Panasonic HDC-SD100 will find a welcome market among more serious users who are looking for improved functionality and control in addition to great solid-state HD recording at a reasonable price
