Panasonic HDC HS-80 Zoom Test HD

Produced with CyberLink PowerDirector This has been uploaded in 720p HD the original is Full HD. But from the footage you can see the zoom works well. There is probably about 1-2 miles distance from the camcorder to the points at maximum zoom. The camcorder can go to 2000 x digital zoom but as this decreases quality I kept it to 90x (35 X Optical, and 55 X digital) as it is a full HD casmcorder despite me using digital zoom the quality is quite good and better than I thought. If you look at my space shuttle video that was using 10 X optical and 10 X Digital, but my camcorder was only standard definition, hence the quality drop. (Sorry on video it should read 35x optical and 55x digital zoom)
