Do you still remember when camcorders required a VHS tape and a nickel-cadmium battery that’s about a size of a remote and twice as thick? I sure do. They were big, bulky and half-way through the tape you had to change batteries.
Video camcorders have evolved from that to miniature versions that took minitapes, then to cameras that are about the size of your hand and need MiniDV tapes. Now, there are no more motor’s in the camera and all videos are now stored 
onto digital memory, and are about the size of your palm.
Panasonic took this one step further and produced and SD9 and the SW20. Both cameras takes SD cards, have no moving internal parts, and has more battery life then our VHS ancestors.
Panasonic decided to grace us with two of their new camera out on the market now: The HDC-SD9 and the SDR-SW20. They say SD9 can shoot full HD video and the SW20 can be used anywhere.
Let’s put them to the test.

The Nikon Coolpix P80 is an excellent camera choice for the Pro-Sumer. What this means is if you want the simplicity of a point-and-shoot camera coupled with the beautiful results of a professional Digital SLR camera, then this camera is for you!
This camera is compatible with most platforms including Windows and Mac systems. The P80 also supports pictbridge technology which allows you to dock the camera right on your pictbridge dock and pull the images off the camera that way.
The Coolpix P80 supports SD cards, and outputs in .JPG format. It sports a 2.7 inch LCD screen for reviewing images and features 18X wide optical zoom for capturing that perfect picture from afar.
Overall I was rather impressed with this camera, and am thrilled to have been able to try it out for myself. Hit the jump for full resolution sample images taken with the Nikon Coolpix P80.

The first ever digital camera I ever used was a Fujiflim F601 back in high school. I knew at the very moment that picked that camera up that the future of photography will be digital. And wow… 3.3 megapixels were just amazing!
Fast forward six years, and in my hand I have an 8.0MP and an 10.1MP cameras. Fuji has come a long way (along
with everyone) in developing and marketing these still-life creators effectively. Fuji’s cameras have been made famous for their SuperCCD technology - basically taking pictures in low light conditions and have them made usable.
The Z100fd and the Z20fd are the newest entries to reach the masses. They both have the same old feel and functions as their predecessors, but they’re heavily beefed up.

Panasonic isn’t a new player. They’ve been in the game since the 50’s and they know what the consumers like. Their main competitor is Sony in the market for TV’s, and now, Canon, Nikon, and Fuji in the digital camera world.
After fifty years of experience in the field of consumer electronics, they tried to do two things: bring the ease of use of a point-and-shoot, with the function of a high end professional photographer’s digital SLR.
Did they do the trick? Let’s find out.
