First consumer HD camcorder

Pros Great video quality.
Cons Fairly expensive. Doesn't have as many features as some standard definition...
Recommended it? Yes

This camera is really your only option right now for consumer HD video recording. The price is fairly steep due to the lack of competition, but it isn't unreasonable. The camcorder records video in 1080i HDV format on regular miniDV cassettes.

The camera is very compact and stylish,... Read full review »

INTRODUCTION
As an owner of an FX1 I decided to replace my Canon XM2 with a second HD camera, primarily to use as a safety cam & perhaps a player to save wearing out my man cam.

It's worth pointing out how small the HC1 is, I would put it at about a quarter of the FX1, almost pocket... Read full review »

Pros The best consumer camcorder on the market.
Cons Additional standard batteries are worth it in the long run for the comfort factor.
Recommended it? Yes

When I hook up the camcorder to my hi def Sony TV the results are awesome. I am still learning all the features that this camera... Read full review »

Cons bottom-loading;no bundled software;image less bright than hdr-fx1
Recommended it? Yes

I am very impressed with this camcorder. It does not come cheap, but it is very, very nice considering how new this technology is. I cannot imagine why one would buy a camcorder these days if it is not a HD? What exactly is new in comparison to your old camcorder?
Image quality is quite... Read full review »
