More Great Information on Shoe Adapter:

Panasonics First Camcorder with CMOS Sensors - HDC-SD100 by Matt Ryan..

Panasonic has been producing quality cameras for years. The release of their HDC-SD100 has proven to be yet another quality product. With new technologies and ideas, the HDC-SD100 gives consumers flexibility mixed with high definition imagery.

This particular model is a 12x optical zoom, which can be swapped out for wide angle or deeper zoom lenses. It is compact and lightweight enough for just about anyone to use (2.56 x 2.84 x 5.43-inches weighing less than a pound). The overall design allows the unit to sit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

A new feature is the multi-functional ring that surrounds the lens. This ring allows users to adjust - manually - different settings such as white balance, zoom, focus, and even aperture. It could definitely be a bit more user friendly, but it will work until Panasonics next camcorder release. Also located at the front of the camera, near the lens, is a microphone jack (available for those who want higher quality sound than a built-in microphone can produce).

An 8GB SDHC, a battery, AC adapter, component A/V and USB cables, remote, editing software, and owner's manual all come in the box - with each purchase.

The HDC-SD100 is the first camcorder that Panasonic has released, that uses CMOS sensors rather than CCD chips. They have implemented this technology a bit differently than other manufacturers. Rather than one CMOS sensor they have implemented three calling is 3MOS. The concept of multiple chips or sensors is not new to Panasonic, as they implemented three CCD chips in every camera they released in the past.

The CMOS sensors, that Panasonic is using, are only 610 k-pixels. Even with three sensors, the quality of the high definition output is not quite comparable to that of its competitors. There are four shooting modes (HA, HG, HX, and HE), three of which produce a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. While it is not far off from other camcorders, the output is not near as vibrant.

Different shooting modes record at different rates of speed. The HDC-SD100 can record anywhere from 6Mbits per second to 17Mbits per second; this is 100% dependent upon the shooting mode that you are using.

Panasonic decided to give consumers the flexibility of using either a viewfinder or the LCD panel. This is the first AVCHD camcorder to offer both to users. With the use of the toggle switch, consumers can easily switch between the two. Additionally, the HDC-SD100 does not have a hard drive like many other cameras, these days, do.

A cold accessory shoe has been implemented at the top of the camcorder. This allows consumers to use external microphones or lights while recording important events. The addition of this feature brings the HDC-SD100 to a more professional standard. The shutter button is also located at the top of the camera for ease of use.

The battery, record, and viewfinder are all located at the back of the camera - for ease of use and convenience. An inconvenience; however, is the location of the HDMI, USB, and DC-in ports. Each of these is located at the back of the unit, but under the battery. In order to use any of these ports you must first power down the unit. (Even charging the HDC-SD100 is a bit of an inconvenience.)

The HDC-SD100 can be picked up for around $1,100. Depending what you are looking for in a camcorder, this may or may not be the right pick for you. If you are looking for a high-end, almost professional grade, camera, then the Panasonic HDC-SD100 just might be the right pick. If you need an easy to use camcorder that is user friendly, this might not be the right model for you.

Video recording outdoors?

I would like to shoot wildelife(mostly birds and ducks in flight) in all seasons/lighting conditions from a boat. will the folowing equipment be sufficient to produce a DVD that can be sold. stability ??lighting??

Sony HDR-SR11 60GB Hybrid High Definition Camcorder
SPK-HCD Underwater Camcorder Sports Pack
UV Filter

Circular Polarizer

Lexar 2GB Platinum II (40x) Memory Stick Pro Duo

Sony VCL-HG0737C 0.7x High-grade Wide Angle Conversion Lens

Pearstone Cold Shoe Adapter for Sony AIS
Sony ECM-MSD1 Stereo Gun Zoom Microphone - for Camcorders

Sony HVL-HL1 3 Watt Video Light

Sony NP-FH70 H Series Info-Lithium, 'Super Stamina' Battery Pack (8.4V, 1800mAh)

If you are recording from a boat, that is actually the wrong equipment - especially if you are recording migratory birds like ducks geese, and smaller species.

When migratory birds are in their migration patters, they are flying at high altitudes that the HDR-SR11 can not lock onto for solid video - especially in a rocking boat. You will need a professional camera with a long zoom and solid optical stabilization. Most of these setups cost several thousand dollars, but there are several affordable options available.

The HDR-SR11 will never be stable in your proposed setup. The focus is hard to adjust manually on long zoom with consumer cameras. Plus, a 3 watt light doesn't provide enough light for that type of video. If you are trying to film this kind of activity in low-light conditions where you need a camera light, forget it. It won't provide the quality video you need for production. No light will help you in this proposed situation - not even the professional lights. Not to mention, the lights may scare away the birds. A wide-angle lens also won't help either.

If filming underwater, most of these accessories don't apply. This is also an environment where only specific accessories are necessary such as the light and waterproof case, but the light needs to be 100 watt or more so it cuts through the water.

If you will be waiting for the birds to break migratory pattern and come down to lower levels to land or roost, then the equipment you chose will work. The wide-angle lens will help you get a large field or lake full of birds into one shot, but you can also do this by panning. You won't need the light. Also, It is best if you are on solid ground with a very good tripod ($100 or more). You may need to make quick turns with the tripod (as the ducks fly by at 30-50 mph) while maintaining solid video stability. You will also have to limit your filming between daybreak and dusk (after sunrise to before sunset).

The biggest thing you will want to do is move up to the Sony HVR-A1 or another professional camcorder. This camera costs at least $500 more, but you will have that money because you won't need most of the accessories you listed. This is one of the few professional video cameras that is very compact and can be broken down to a form factor similar to the HDR-SR11. The HVR-A1 also one of the rare professional camcorders to include Nightshot infrared capability. This is good if you want to do some short distance shooting in the dark or low-light of sunrise before daybreak - such as recording a host that is explaining the situation.

We have used this camera in similar settings to what you describe here, and its capabilities and quality impresses our clients. Other lower priced professional cameras you might want to look into are the Panasonic DVX100 (SD) and Sony HVR-Z1U - both cameras recorded most of the documentary, reality TV, and other cable TV shows you have been watching for the past decade. Also included in this list are the Sony HDR-FX1 (HD), and the Sony VX2100 (SD) - old popular choices for TV and internet news crews. Your most promising option will be the Canon series of GL1, GL2, XL1, and XL2 cameras which have recorded most of the wildlife videos you see on the Discovery Network; specifically the Animal Planet channel.

Adjust your setup by picking a proper camera out of the list provided. You will spend a little more money, but it will be worth every cent. You won't need a light, but you will definitely need a high capacity battery and professional tripod (both available from Amazon.com). You may not be able to afford the waterproof setups for these cameras, but who needs waterproof setups when filming birds in flight? You might also need to get a bigger, more stable boat, or even better, film from land. It normally costs a lot less to film from land than from water. The biggest advantages to the improved setup we propose is not only better quality video, but also a lot less equipment to haul - just camera, tripod, and small bag of lenses and tape.

Look in your phone book for your local videographers. Visit them to check out their setups and get their advice. You may also be allowed to try out some of their cameras.

Good Luck
