repair shop - Panasonic South Africa
A friend of mine dropped his Panasonic digital video camera. The lcd screen is gone. Here in Malawi there is certainly noone who can repair it. South Africa is probably the closest. Does anyone know a good Panasonic repair shop in South Africa, preferably Jo'burg area?

Go to www.panasonic.co.za and click on Stores & Service. As far as I can see there are two - one in Samrand the other in Wynberg. Good Luck.

Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD 3CCD Flash Memory High Definition Camcor
Panasonic South Africa Model: HDC-SD98GBPanasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD 3CCD Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom w/8 GB SD Card
Use of the super-small SDHC/SD memory card helped us to create the world's smallest and lightest 3CCD full-HD camcorder. The HDC-SD9 Full-HD Camcorder fits comfortably in your hand and can be used for long periods without causing fatigue. Panasonic full-HD camcorders record horizontal pixels at an HD resolution of up to 1920 pixels. With progressive scanning, the hi-def camcorders provide twice as much data per picture as conventional interlace scanning. With Face Detection, Panasonic makes it easy to capture beautiful faces and clear backgrounds even in dim or backlit scenes. This new function, which can detect up to five faces at once, automatically adjusts the exposure and smooth skin tones according to the ambient brightness, so faces are bright and easy to see. The Intelligent Shooting Guide function helps you get magnificent shots by displaying a text message in the LCD monitor, telling you which settings are best for the current shooting conditions. With Intelligent Selection Playback, poor or inadvertent shots such as shots of the ground or overly dark scenes are skipped and all normal scenes are played while viewing. Panasonic's Advanced Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) suppresses the effects of handshake as you shoot. The system uses gyro sensors to detect handshake, then shifts a lens and adjusts the optical axis to compensate. No image quality is lost because the system is optical. Optical Zoom - 10x Variable Speed Zoom Focal Length - 3.0 - 30 mm Filter Diameter - 37mm Advanced O.I.S. Image Stabilizer Minimum Illumination - 5 Lux (1/30 Low Light Mode), 1 Lux (Magic Pix Mode) AF/Manual Focus White Balance - Auto/Indoor/Outdoor/White Set Auto/Manual Iris Backlight Compensation 2.7 Wide (300,000 Dots) LCD Monitor 170-degrees Wide Viewing Angle LCD (Vertically & Horizontally) HD Advanced Pure Color Engine PictBridge Compatible
