Panasonic top 3 AVCHD camcorders in Amazon

Since Panasonic released the first professional AVCHD camcorder in autumn of 2008, then followed by Sony in the first quarter of 2010 and later Canon, JVC and Hitachi also stepped into the AVCHD market. Relatively speaking, Panasonic is the first one also currently the best one in doing this job, so it's worth our efforts to have a review of its top 3 models from Amazon market.

N01. Panasonic HDC-SDT750 see from Amazon
Technical Details
* World's first 3D Shooting Camcorder
* Fulls HD 1080/60p Progressive Movie Recording
* Advanced 3MOS System
* Intelligent Auto & Hybrid OIS
Pros: Valiant attempt for 3D home video, 12x optical zoom ranging from 35-420mm, 3MOS imaging system (7.59MP total), Great 1080/60p setting
Cons: 3D lens limits camcorder too much, 3D effects not impressive, Printed photos lack pop

Bottom line: This is a start of stepping into the consumer 3D world image, its many features won't function when shooting 3D, for example when shooting 3-D you do not have HD-1080P and its shooting in 3:2 instead of 16:9 which means the HD quality is gone. So, perhaps we should wait a bit longer, for future and improved 3D camcorder generations.

N02: Panasonic Pro AG-HMC150 see from Amazon
Technical Details
* HD formats: 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p (Native); 720/60p, 720/30p, 720/24p (Native)
* Higher bit-rate recording (21 Mbps PH Mode)
* 13X Wide angle 28 mm lens out of the box (35mm equiv.); 1/3-inch CCD Progressive Imagers
* Waveform Monitor, Vectorscope plus two Focus displays for accurate, quick focus
* 3.5-inch LCD monitor displays thumbnails for quick non-linear access to clips

Pros: Easier to stabilize and control, Accurate PH recording mode is set at 21Mbps. Wide-angle lens and decent wide-viewing
Cons: Cost too much, the battery is small, 1/3 imagers are too small to gather enough light.
Bottom line: it with versatile features and is a from AVCDH turn to nimble HD, But it's not for everyone. Shooters who need long record times, extreme durability and a lightweight camcorder will rejoice.

NO3.Panasonic Professional AG-HMC40 see from Amazon
Technical Details
* HD formats: 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p (Native); 720/60p, 720/30p, 720/24p (Native)
* Three newly designed 1/4.1" Progressive 3MOS Imagers for full HD resolution
* 12x Leica Dicomar lens (13 elements in 10 groups), 43mm filter, zoom range of 40.8 - 490mm (35mm equivalent.)
* Extremely slow, smooth zoom for the precise control needed for dramatic sequences
* Time Date Stamp enables shooting Legal Depositions or Surveillance
Pros: Higher-bitrate recording of the HMC40, Good shooting quality and light pakage, suppport looking shots with 4:2:0 sampling
Cons: Take softkey menus, No timecode jam sync between two cameras

Bottom line: It introduced its AVCCAM line to the camcorder which is a boon for the casual video producer and professional shooter alike. For the $1995 retail price it may be the best camera money can buy for this price.
