I didn't want to buy Sony, but...
Well, I didn't want to buy another Sony Handycam, but there's very few alternatives to choose from. I made my choice at short notice and without doing any research in store - the worst possible place, but I've ended up with a great quality camcorder. It's simple to use and produces great quality images, but best of all it's not using a Sony propriety format, it uses the industry standard miniDV format.
I'm still getting to grips with all it has to offer, but so far have been more than impressed and with two children now I have twice the excuse to get the camcorder out! My main gripe would be that the supplied software isn't particularly impressive (mainly a browser) and so you'll need to invest in some software for your video editing needs - Sony Vegas seems quite good, but again it's early days for me.
Best Camera I ever seen and buy thanks sony
I recommand this video camera from Sony which is the best in HD. You can use the menue very easy and also shoot HD pictures and video. Every option you need you can find it in this camera. It is also very easy to use for proffitional and bigginer user. Best picture and best sound quality so everyone should have this one. Go ahaed and buy one with now cheap price better than before you will thank me afetr you will use it.
Unfortunately a big opportunity was missed
This camcorder could have been great but for the imager upgrade. In my view it is a step backwards from Sonys previous top notch HDR-HC3. They changed the imager and pixel count to improve it but instead we ended up with a insignificant stills performance increase, a poorer low light performance and a inferior steady shot stabilisation system. It seems Sony is determined to carry on down
this route by putting more pixels on to the imager at the expense of low light performance not understanding that in the UK most of our amature recordings take place in doors.
