The main improvement is higher contrast ratio due mainly to improved black level performance. It also delivers on its 1080p resolution promise for the most part, with video processing courtesy of Silicon Optix and...

- With its eye-catching, compact body and relatively low price, the Panasonic HDC-SD9 seems to be quite an attractive buy for a flash-based AVCHD camcorder. At 11.7 ounces with battery and SD card and only 3.6 inches long, it's certainly one of the smallest and lightest full-size camcorders we've ever tested,...
