The World’s Smallest Camcorder?
In an announcement made by the fine folks at Panasonic, the company is claiming that its new HDC-SD5 is in fact the world’s smallest 3CCD Full HD camcorder. And considering its dimensions are a minute 2.6 x 2.6 x 5.3-inches and it weighs just .75-pounds, there’s no wonder the company is making such claims.
Besides its size, the camera sports 1,920 x 1,080 30fps recording on SD or SDHC cards as well as image stabilizations Leica Dicomar lenses. Look for it in September for a cool $1000.
