The Panasonic HDC-DX1 is a latest camcorder. It employs the AVCHD recording format. It saves on DVD disk and still images to SD and SDHC cards. Same to its sibling — the HDC-SD1 (USD1120) — the HDC-DX1 saves recording in 1440 x 1080, anamorphic video that is compacted employing the H.264 AVC codec. Dissimilar its tiny sib, the HDC-DX1 is a large camcorder due to the DVD system and electronic viewfinder (EVF). The weight of HDC-DX1 is approximately 800 grams along with the battery which is nearly double the mass of the HDC-SD1. Despite the fact that it is valued less than the HDC-SD1 at USD1399, the HDC-DX1 features more characteristics that video fanciers are searching — as if the EVF and accessory shoe.

It is really unlucky that these worthy characteristics were gifted in a camcorder that just records level best quality AVCHD for thirteen minutes on a single-sided DVD, needs a minute to format a new disc and six to eight minutes to complete a disk that can only be performed when on AC power incidentally.

Video Performance

The image quality of Panasonic’s AVCHD is neither good nor bad at the 13 Mbps bit rate that the HDC-SD1 (USD1120) records in its best quality mode. The HDC-DX1 (USD1120) records at the similar bit rate therefore I anticipate the video caliber to be the similar as all the imaging glass and circuitry is similar. Since I could not take out the movie from a DVD to my laptop computer, I was not capable to make a direct comparison or place a model video for more examination. Seemingly, you require the software program that you get with the camcorder to move the video to a pc’s hard disk so as to run it or edit it. Since popping a DVD into my laptop computer’s DVD drive did not let me get at to the movie files, even with ISOBuster. The computer guessed the disk was empty whereas it functioned well in the camcorder.

Low Light Performance

The low light functioning and result of both the latest Panasonic AVCHD camcorders is an addition because three 1/4inch Charge-coupled devices were employed to attain a low light sensitiveness of 6 lux. I was not capable to perform greatly low light photographing because of the restraints of the display cubicle. Even so, the dim fields I was capable to shoot appeared very fine on this camcorder.
