Review: I purchased Sony Handycam DCR-HC90 Mini DV Digital Camcorder to replace my aging 8 year old Hi8 camcorder, also from Sony. The old Hi8 camcorder still works quite fine, it’s just too heavy and bulky to carry around (which is somewhat funny: 8 years ...

Pros: COMPACT size, excellent movie quality, clear sound, touch screen LCD, quick zoom and auto focus.

Cons: Awkward ergonomics, battery life, slow to focus when using nightshot.

The Bottom Line: I've seen several camcorders for more than $730.00 with the same if not fewer features. Still photo quality is about the best with this camcorder than any other too.

Cons: awkward place to put zoom control.

Pros: Wide screen feature, high pixels, picture quality, small, looks handsome.

Cons: Still picture quality in low light. Or, maybe it's me. Touch screen.

Pros: Small, powerful, easy to use, good video

Cons: Short battery life, flimsy access panels

Pros: excellent video; strong low-light capabilities; wide-screen capable

Cons: accessories a little pricey

Review: I believe Sony has a hit with the new DCR-HC90 camcorder. It is quite powerful and does a lot of good things despite coming in a very small package. I've devoted some time to its features on my web page at http://www.disneyfunsite.com/h c90.htm Please ...

Pros: Excellent low Light camera, full featured, burn directly to DVD from camera.

Cons: Very sensitive zoom in/out, touch screen might be tough to use for some people.

Review: Previously, I ran out and bought the Canon ZR 65MC camcorder to capture my 1 year old daughter's first Christmas. The result with that camera was awful indoor and lowlight films that were grainy and unwatchable. My mission this time around was to find ...

Pros: Excellent picture quality, 16x9 feature. Compact.

Cons: $216 repair bill, only 3 month labor Warranty, Sony doesn't stand behind it's products.

Review: I did quite a bit of research before selecting the HC90. It was hard to get because every outlet was sold out. The product itself is great. I have two LCD TV's, a 32 inch and a 50 inch. The 16x9 feature is awesome, after importing into the computer ...
