If you want a video camera that will still cut it in ten years time, then Sonys HDR-HC1 is a sensible, if costly choice. Video and TV standards are on the brink of their biggest shake up since the introduction of colour. High Definition, or HD, is...

Bottom line The HC1E isnt perfect. The two biggest points against it are that it has a bottom-loading tape mechanism and a Sony-proprietary accessory shoe. But its still an amazing leap forward in video quality for the money. James Morris Lowest online price:...

The HDR-HC1 is the little brother of the HDR-FX1, which we reviewed here. It drops the FX1’s 3CCDs in favour of a single CMOS sensor, and shrinks the body size and weight down to that of a traditional consumer handheld. As with the FX1, the model is...

At first glance, Sonys HDR-HC1 HDV 1080i Handycam Camcorder looks like a regular mild-mannered digital camcorder. Dont be fooled by the disguise; the HDR-HC1 is the first consumer high-definition (HD) camcorder, and this is a watershed moment in ho...
Good Incredible video quality. Great sound.
Bad Expensive. Most users will need to invest in new hardware to store and play high-definition video. No software included for HD video editing. Image stabilization isnt powerful enough.
