No Problems for both PC & MAC.......2007-11-01
I bought this mouse for my Dell and am now using it on my Macbook. I've had no problems with this mouse on both computers.
I love the size & compartment for the USB connection:)
A Great mini-mouse.......2007-03-09
Excellent design. Works and feels great. Packs up easily. All the positive reviews I've read are true.
pocketrocket.......2007-01-15
I love this mouse. It is a simple product--optical wireless mouse--but the design is elegant. The usb receiver plugs into the mouse when not in use, preventing its loss and disengaging the batteries.
Not for Macintosh.......2006-11-04
I bought this mouse for my MacBook. The mouse cursor immediately jumps to the upper left side of the screen as soon as you click on the mouse. Move the mouse, click and back it jumps to the left top of screen. 100% unusable on the Macintosh. An insanely bad mouse for an insanely great computer.
I moved the mouse over to my work PC (Dell). It works pretty well on that machine, but I've noticed that it is very jumpy, meaning the cursor moves in hops instead of a smooth roll.
The only reason I gave it more than 1 star is due to the wonderful hardware design. You'll never lose the USB transmitter since it fits neatly inside of this mouse. Unfortunately due to its poor performance, you'll wish you could lose the whole thing.
Defective product.......2006-10-03
The mouse only works for 1 months, then it stop working. You can see from Device Manager that the device disappears within a few min. after you plug in the USB transmitter.
Call them and was told there is a known heating issue. Wait for 3 months, after pushing them again, they finally told me that the issue has been fixed. Sent me the replacement, only works for 2 x 15 min. and the same thing occurs.
Don't buy this item.

Blazingly fast, lifetime warranty from the emperor of memory brands........2006-03-02
The best memory purchase I've ever made. 80x speeds are more than enough for any use you might have; twice as fast as the typical consumer cards from manufacturers like Sandisk. I use it in my Canon EOS 20D and it writes so fast I can take consecutive 8.2 megapixel shots at 5 frames per second with no delay up to 40 or 50 shots, and then once it slows down it is because of the write speed of the camera, not the card.
The biggest reason I chose this card was the lifetime warranty, in addition to the fact that Corsair is simply the king of memory, for both flash and systems.
Buy it, then by ten more of it. I would if I had the money.
Very fast & works a treat.......2006-01-08
I have two of these and they work very well in my Canon 20D.
Not many 80X out there right now and this one seems to have been replace by a 2GB but only at 40X
Besides, I like to limit myself to 1GB of shots per card in case I lose it or break it etc. Bad enough to buy new memory, but to lose all those shots... 1gb worth is all I gamble with.
Good Mfg also, lifetime warranty and they make memory for everything going not just compact flash.

Product Description
You've got the widescreen TV. Now consider the camcorder you're going to get. Let's say you bought a 1080i HDTV. Doesn't it make sense to get a 1080i camcorder? Panasonic's HDC-SD5 is by far one of the most comfortable camcorders you will ever hold. At less than 1 pound, this cylinder-shaped camcorder reaches 1080i resolution in 16:9 widescreen for true HD play on HDTV sets. The tiny size and light weight is due to the media it uses for memory. A removable SD or SDHC card. This card format is about the size of a postage stamp but can hold from 1GB up to 8GB memory. Because they're easily replaceable, you can carry additional SD cards with you for more memory. About 6 of these cards weigh about an ounce for true mobility.
The SD5 features Advanced O.I.S. and the 3CCD camera system. Advanced O.I.S. prevents blurry images caused by unsteady hands as you shoot, so images are clear, sharp and beautiful when displayed on a big TV screen. The 3CCD camera system is used in most professional broadcasting equipment because it draws out the full potential of the camera's high image quality. The USB Host function lets you use your DVD burner to copy and play recorded images in their original AVCHD format. The data can also be easily edited on a PC by using the included software, and the finished result can be saved onto a DVD disc or other media in either AVCHD or MPEG-2 format. One of the new functions, called Pre-Rec, simplifies shooting and prevents mistakes. Pre-Rec records the image for 3 seconds before you even start shooting, so you're sure to capture unexpected actions that you would otherwise miss. Intelligent Contrast Control helps render natural-looking, highly nuanced images with proper contrast. Still photo mode with built-in electronic-flash 1/30 - 1/8000 (Motion Picture), 1/30-1/8000 (Progressive 1/30 - 1/500) (Still Picture) Auto and Manual Focus SD Memory card slot Recording time up to HG - 80

Awesome little camera.......2007-12-19
I will update this review later, after I have had an opportunity to use the several key functions better.
For now, I wanted to address some of the questions raised by the 2 previous reviews.
Although Amazon's description doesn't make it clear, the camera should come with everything you'll need to record, play and store full-HD video (except for the SDHC card). Apparently, there's more than one entry in Amazon for this item, with different prices. Search for "HDC-SD5" to show them all. That includes all cables, software (to transfer to your computer) and a stand-alone DVD burner/player (in case you don't have a computer). True, DVD+ formats are not supported. Just buy new DVD- disc.
If you want to play HD video directly from the DVDs, you'll have to also buy a Blu-ray player (PS3 anyone? This is endless...). You can always play the DVDs (in AVCHD format) via the supplied DVD player hooked up to the camcorder hooked up to your TV. Or you can play them in your computer (if you have a decent large monitor) using the supplied software.
In your computer, with the supplied software, you can also make videos in the DVD-video (mpeg2) format, and play anywhere, but they'd be in standard resolution, not HD. Incidentally, the supplied software is dog slow. It took 20 mins to make a DVD out of my 3 min test video.
UPDATE:
The video quality is OK. Much inferior to what you see from off-the-air TV signal. I'd say even a bit inferior to compressed satellite HD signal. But it's a lot better than what I'm used to from my old Sony Hi8.
In any case, I compared it with a friend's Canon mini-DV camera (also HD) and quality is equivalent.
So, I can't say it's the camera's fault. Maybe the AVCHD spec calls for too much video compression. OTOH, I appreciate that I can store 80 mins of footage in an 8GB card, which fits in one (dual layer) DVD disc.
The quality of the still pictures are horrific. Worse than that from a good quality camera phone. Forget about that feature.
The camera is too small for my hands. I have trouble using the mini thumb joystick (which is essential for controlling all features in this camera). I don't think the camera would lose any sex appeal if it were, say, 120% of its current size in every dimension. Maybe Panasonic would lose the "smallest 3 CCD HD camera in the world" claim, but it would be a lot more functional.
Clearly, the Achilles hell is the 10x (optical) zoom. You can have up to 700x digital zoom, but that's such a bogus feature, it's like cheating yourself.
Amazon doesn't let me revise my rating, but I'd give this camera a solid 4 star, not 5.
To the OP, John........2007-12-13
The SD card is an HCSD and requires a special reader. An HCSD reader. You can get them here on Amazon for around $20 or as part of a bundle with a 4-16gb HCSD card.
As for editing the videos, I have the HDC-SD1 camera, this ones predecessor and I use Pinnacle Studio 11 Ultimate. It is the only program out there that will edit the raw .mts files. Nero will let you make a movie with them but not edit them.
One question. Can't you have the camera burn a dvd in standard DVD format? A poster on another review said it was possible.
Great Camera but...........2007-12-11
I have used this camera for about 2 hours of video shooting. I have to say the features and quality on the camera are awesome. I am using it for sporting events and it does a great job under the various lighting conditions that I have encountered. When played back through an HD TV you can plainly see how the basketball players have tied their shoelaces.
But.. The DVD burner burns AVCHD format and is only readable by Blueray players or players that are AVCHD compatible (I haven't found one yet!).
It also only uses DVD-r/rw/ram. You can't use DVD+ anything.
I was also hoping to pop the SD cards into my pc and edit or convert the format. So far I have not been able to read any SD card used in the camera. (Leave it to Sony to get all proprietary. The AVCHD format is a joint effort between Matsuhita and Sony)
The codec is H.264 and should be able to be downloaded and installed on a PC but I have not had luck doing that yet.
The camera does an awesome job though!!
