Comment on Sony HDR-HC1 2.8MP High Definition MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom Reviews by TexasStar.
Amazing,
I have had mine for over three weeks now and am very impressed. The simple ability to capture true 1080i video is amazing. I finally have home video I can play on my HDTV and not cringe at the poor resolution.
The 3MP camera is also quite good. It doesn’t replace a normal digital camera, but I found the shots to be decent. The nice thing is being able to shoot pictures in widescreen mode and play them back on your HDTV. It is the best way to view photos that I have seen.
There are some minor downsides. The bottom loading tape is a pain for tripod filming. The viewfinder is too short when using a large battery. The focusing system is a bit challenging as it can take a while to lock. It also takes a while to figure out the stability settings so your video does not look choppy.
I recommend a great user site at sonyhdvinfodotcom. The user forums are invaluable for understanding the nuances of the camera.
Overall, a tremendous camera for a very good price.
