The Panasonic HC-X920 supports AVCHD2, which allows you to record in 1080p HDTV resolution at 50 fps (28 Mbps). The files are stored on any Class 4-and-up SD/SDHC/SDXC card, in sizes up to 64 GB, and the card goes in the slot on the bottom side of the camcorder. But, worth noting, there’s no internal memory. A 32 GB SD card can hold 2 hours and 40 minutes of video in 1080/50p.
