Summary: Superb and easy to use product
Comment: This is amazing value and the picture equals that from cameras twice the price. The lack of a motor of any sort completely eliminates motor noise and it is small enough to fit in one hand. The picture quality for both still and HDTV is excellent and colour rendering is better than other cameras I have bought. The ability to take still photos while taking video is a bonus but isn't so good in dim light.Also, the flash is rather too bright for anything less than 2 metres away and cannot be controlled, so don't take flash photos of people just a metre away.
Two things are less than perfect for me: The joy-stick is a bit on the small size for my hands but other people find it easy to use. The need to connect the machine to the battery adaptor in order to download is baffling and makes it impossible to do where there is no mains supply. I also find the fade control awkward to set up, but this is common with other cameras I have used.
I don't know why they don't put the larger capacity battery in with this, although you get a couple of hours of general use from the one that is supplied. It is worth getting a spare battery (and a spare SD card).
I liked this camera so much I bought another 2.

Summary: Good little camera, excellent picture quality.
Comment: For the price, this camera does what it says.
Picture quality is excellent when viewed at full HD on HD tv, not tried viewing on normal TV. Sound is a little tinny when recording inside the house. Light is also an issue inside the house, but manual setting to adjust backlight makes up for this.
Photos are good quality but flash is very very bright, even at 10 feet.
Be warned there is NO SD card in the box, had to wait a week before I could use this until I could source a resonabley priced sd card, found e buyer to offer best deal.

The ultra-compact HDC-SD5EG-K camcorder uses an Advanced O.I.S. optical stabiliser and 3CCD image processing technology to produce crisp images that are full of colour and detail. The HDC-SD5EG-K is equipped with a 10x optical zoom and a Leica Dicomar lens for capturing footage in high definition with Dolby Digital sound. The 2.7" LCD screen is extremely comfortable to view and makes it easy to control the camcorder as you film.
