Compact and lightweight ; saturated colors ;

Moderate to low-light videos look cloudy ; some awkward design choices ; smallish LCD with terrible color reproduction ; awful bundled software ;

Despite its trio of CCDs, the video quality and performance of the Panasonic HDC-SD9 are a bit too inconsistent. Plus, we recommend avoiding this model until software support for it improves.

"Disappointing Video Quality"

By (cnet.com)

I'm on the lookout for a great camcorder to m... 

Lightweight; primary colors are saturated; looks good with soft fluorescent light tube as source; uses SDHC memory card for quick video transfer.

Other colors are inconsistent in saturation; LCD's color and crispness does not match video when transferred to PC; software is not well designed; night mode is full of grains.

"Wait for the next release of AVCHD products"

By hdnut (cnet.com)

My application might be a little more harsher... 

Size is exceptional, with just about all the right components (not necessarily placed in the right spot). Great potential going forward for 3 ccd plaform in this size format. Looking forward to future products from Panasonic.

Contrast, color saturation, no external connectors (mic, headphones), no hood for filming, no hotshoe for eternal components (oh ya, I already mentioned that), unacceptable editing software.
