Panasonic SDR-H80K SD Hard Disk Drive/Flash Hybrid Camcorder
Don’t even think about buying the Panasonic SDR-H80K camcorder… It’s a joke…
The resolution is at 704×480 versus the 720×480 offered in standard MiniDV and/or DVD video formats.
While it has worthwhile features, like optical image stabilization, 70x optical zoom, and SDHC flash memory compatibility… It doesn’t compensate for the lack of 16 vertical lines of resolution. Sure, you can futz with video editing software, and try to smooth out the jaggies… But is it really worth it? Most video editing software have pre-made templates for beginners and novices… Why confuse those people with non-standard video resolution?
