The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Having taken delivery of my new SD20 yesterday from QVC (£304.95), I thought I'd start an owners thread so we can all share our experiences (good or bad).
So far I've only been able to have a quick play (still waiting for SD card to be delivered), and first impressions are good. The HD Writer software which came with it seems quiet straight forward to use.
Looking forward to using this alot over the summer 
Steve.

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
mine due today from QVC, cant wait, especially keen to know if the software is good and can it convert the HD footage onto an SD DVD to view in standalone players at good quality
P.S Dont have an SD card yet, whats a good one to get best capture footage?

The instruction manual says class 4 or above should work.
There is a promo leaflet that comes with the camcorder from QVC/Panasonic for a free 16gb SD card or a 3yr warranty.

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Still avaliably at QVC for £367.70 (inc p&p).
Still a good price considering Amazon want £429.10 and Argos want £547.99

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Got mine yesterday (from QVC of couse), its a lovely little camcorder, but one thing that is a bit poo is the nightshot, its terrible but all the reviews about low light well i used it last night and it was fine  havent got a mini hdmi yet so i havent plugged it to my tv but i hope its good. Also editing software seems easy but not bad as it comes with it.
Altogether an awesome buy
Jason

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Have you tried the component cables to the TV, they should allow you so see the HD capabilities of the camera? (once the TV is HD and has component connectors (red-green-blue)).

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Yeah i have but the picture was pretty poor, my tv is a 37'' full 1080p HD tv as well  bad times. But hdmi might make it look better. I hope so anyways.
But thank you for that

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Is this better than the Sanyo HD2000?

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
Bought from QVC. Very impressed with Video quality, build, and even playback with Component cable. The only problem that has arisen, is with the 'Editing Software'. I am finding it difficuilt to partially delete scenes from a 'file'.

Re: The Panasonic HDC-SD20 Owners Thread
I would also like to know where a battery can be got cheaply. I have seen some on ebay but not sure of the quality.

Bought this 16gb SDHC card from 7dayshop for £19.99. It works a treat.
