Near SD700, head flagship Panasonic camcorders 3-MOS, the Panasonic HDC-SD600 Full range by making some sacrifices in ergonomics and manual setting possibilities, but by taking the image quality of high-end.
Technology 3-MOS SD-600
The Panasonic HDC-SD600 embarks on 3-MOS sensor SD-700 of known quality in terms of color rendering. This type of sensor team ranges amateurs and semi-pro camcorders Panasonic recent years. Naturally, its resolution is Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels. The sensor 3 times 1 / 4, 1 “has a sensitivity of 1.6 lux low light mode and reaches an artificially lux mode” Color night vision “and a 14-megapixel photo resolution (8 megapixels when Taking photos on the fly while recording a video). AVCHD is the SD-600 records video Full HD 1920 x 1080 pixels in different bitrates up to 17 Mbps. Meanwhile, intensive storage, 1080/50p progressive mode should provide a maximum flow rate in exchange for a significant 28 Mbps.

Leica 35-420mm stabilized
The objective of the SD-600 is the same as the SD-700 (TM-700 flash or HS-700 HDD) which is another good news for the SD-600 because this approach is finally big enough angle: it starts at 35mm equivalent to provide a range of 12x, a 35-420mm. The goal is stabilized by the next-generation optical system Power OIS ” that is more effective than before the slow movements of 5Hz or less. We will not dwell on the digital zoom so-called “smart” can still climb up to 18x. The optical zoom Leica symbol (which means a validation of the Leica lens guarantees a certain quality image) receives a multilayer anti-reflective treatment. We appreciate brightness: F/1.5 F/2.8 in wide angle and telephoto.

This early as May 2010 that released the Panasonic HDC-SD600 commercially in the sale price of 799 euros TTC. It is sold 200 euros less than the SD-700.
