Featuring Leica lenses, image stabilization and 1920x1080 progressive recording, Panasonic unveiled two HD cameras on Tuesday poised to take the throne from Canon in the portable camcorder market.

Panasonic HDC-HS9 high-definition camcorder

Apart from storage options, both cameras are identical. The higher-end model, the HDC-HS9, can record to an SD memory card or its built-in 60 GB hard drive, giving it a total capacity of 29 hours of HD-quality video. Its brother, the HDC-SD9, is limited to SD only.

Advanced face detection, 3CCD lens technology and a 0.6 second startup time are some of the additional features offered. The cameras are slated to be released in March 2008, with the SD9 at a price point of $800 USD and the HS9 at $1100 USD.
