This Panasonic HDC-SD707 camcorder was part of an Ebay package deal. The power supply is missing, so here is how to get a random generic charger to charge the Panasonic lithium batteries. Then a first test of the camcorder!

Shame HD camcorders get overlooked. I use them as webcams with HDMI to USB converters. They work really well with excellent optics. Don't attached to the screen though....Mini tripod is a must.

Good deal, those little 3-mos Panasonics are good devices, but it seems not many of them did sell because of the growing competition of smartphones, they are quite rare and very hard to find on the second hand market now.

Here in Germany these Panasonic camcorders were quite popular until 4K became a thing, and so they are relatively easy to find on Ebay. Over the years I had an HDC-SD707, several HC-X909s and an HC-X929. These were great camcorders, but eventually the video quality just wasn't up to modern standards anymore. I got a Samsung S6 in 2016, and depending on the situation it would often produce better video than these Panasonic camcorders, which was frustrating, so I moved on to newer camcorder models. But I still haven't found one that combines great video quality, features and functions, and a relatively small size as well as these Panasonic camcorders do.

These are pretty good HD camcorders, but they are a bit limited by the relatively low bitrate AVCHD recording system. In quiet scenes the video is nice and sharp, but if there is too much motion the sharpness is lost in the AVCHD compression. Newer camcorders with higher bitrate recording systems deliver better results even when there is a lot of motion.

As some of us stated, we were really looking forward to this follow up. Pretty satisfying both to watch that camera working, quite decent btw, and to find out you indeed got an awesome deal buying that ebay lot!

Hey Dr, i have a 5.1 surround sound audio set up for my computer so if you can do a test for that surround microphone i would be glad to test it on my system.

I’ve picked one of these up recently. Can you not charge the battery on the actual camcorder plugging it into the mains or do you need a charger?
@DrCassette
@DrCassette 6 месяцев назад
You need a charger, the camcorder itself can not charge batteries.

Even from today's perspective the SD707 is quite a nice camcorder. I do still like it, too.

Like the McGuyver battery solution. The image quality of the camera is quite serviceable, but there was a faint high pitched whine in it’s audio. I wonder if it is a fault in the camera ‘s audio circuitry or of if it’s equipment sound in the background that it picks up. In that case, the mic would be quite sensitive. I am normally not so fussy with high pitched sounds, some of my viewers on the other hand complain about CRT noises in my game video’s. Those noises are so high that I can’t hear them anymore. Appearantly people below the age of 25 can hear them.

On the body of the camcorder under the LCD screen you can see a circular vent, this is for a cooling fan. The cooling fan is clearly audible as the high pitched whine in the audio recordings. This was a big complaint back when these camcorders were new, but Panasonic never managed to make 3mos 50p camcorders without a cooling fan. Apparently the image sensors would overheat without the cooling fan.

@@DrCassette Do you know if this was a common thing with this era of camcorders besides these Panasonic models, to have a cooling fan inside? I have never heard of that. Not that I have great experience with them but anyway…

@@hellion9547 At that time the Panasonic 3MOS camcorders were the only models with a cooling fan that I have heard of. However, in more recent years cooling fans have become quite common in 4K/UHD camcorders. In fact I don't know any 4K camcorder with 50p recording that does _not_ have a cooling fan...

@@DrCassette A cooling fan on a camera…. That’s new for me. I would have never figured that it would come from that (who puts a noisy fan near a mic😅) My GoPro camera can get quite hot, but a cooling fan near a mic😱 Oh dear….. some manufacturers goof up their thermal designs.

@@dykodesigns It seems like on the current 4K 50p camcorders the video processor generates so much heat that they can only get it out with the help of a cooling fan. The cooling fans on the old 3MOS Panasonic camcorders are quite bad, they are quite noisy and clearly audible in the audio recording. I have had a JVC GY-HM170 4K camcorder, which also had a cooling fan, and it was barely noticeable, and not audible at all in the audio recording. So it is possible to have cooling fans that don't cause problems. Photo cameras with 4K 50p recording capabilities don't have a fan, but instead they have a recording time limit, so recording ends after 10min for example, to make sure the processor doesn't overheat.

I managed to find a Grass Valley ADVC-HD50 HDMI in to HDV out converter box on ebay. So I will be able to record 1080 from my pc to my Sony HC1 HDV handycam and HDV700 video walkman :)

Interesting, do you not have a Firewire port on your PC?

@@DrCassette Yes I have a firewire card installed. I am using HDV Split software which is free. I'm uploading some video taken today in HDV. Very nice indeed :)
@DrCassette
@DrCassette 3 года назад
With some professional video editing software you can make the Firewire work the other way and output video from the computer to an HDV device and record it on there. If you have the right kind of software, there is no need for a HDMI to HDV converter box, that's why I was asking.

I do keep all of these camcorders at least for a little while, until I get bored with them, or until they annoy me with bad video quality ;)
