DRC-HC90 happiness

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this camcorder because of its build quality and video quality
Review: I did quite a bit of homework before purchasing the HC-90. I wanted High quality DV in a 16:9 format. I own a 42" Sony LCD HDTV and I wanted sharp, high quality performance.

Other factors for me: Solid build (exterior), and good quality...

The DCR-HC90 is 'Rock Solid'!

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2005
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.
Review: I received this camcorder today and was amazed myself at how small and compact it was.

BATTERY- I charged up the supplied battery and was a bit disapointed in discovering the battery indicator said I had only 80 minutes of power should I...

Best Low Light Camera

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 2006
The Bottom Line: For people who take a lot of in home home movies this is the camera for you.
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...

No Mic port

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2005
Review: I bought the Sony HC90 based upon information that an external microphone could be hooked up (I also bought the Sony WCS-999 wireless microphone to work with it). Turns out the only microphone that can be hooked up is a proprietary clip on top of...

Selling like hotcakes, now I see why

Date of Review:  Jul 26, 2005
The Bottom Line: I'm in love with my new DCR-HC90 Camcorder. Portability, ease of use, true to life color, this thing has it all.
Review: I picked this little gem up at the Sony store less than a month ago. They had all their camcorder models lined up on the shelf and the HC90 stood out like a Beauty Queen on a Catwalk. The overall design is an aesthetic masterpiece and fits ever-so...

Better than Panasonic GS250

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2005
Review: For the last 24 hours I've been performing my own live test between the Sony HC90 and the Panasonic GS250. In good lighting conditions, the GS250 has somewhat better recordings -- clearer and better colors. However, that is only in the best of...

Almost professional grade video quality

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: This camcorder offers almost professional video quality, good audio, compact size, and great usability
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...

Excellent -matches 3cmos and 3ccd

Date of Review:  Mar 31, 2005
Review: I bought the camera as an upgrade to my last Sony that went out of commission after about four years of service, the Sony dcr pc9. I needed something small and wanted something Sony. Tried the Panasonic 3ccd camera. It was terrible in low light,...

Big video in a small package

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2005
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/hc90.htm

Great machine

Date of Review:  Nov 15, 2005
Review: I ordered this camcorder on line. I was very surprise how nice this little thing looked when I opened the package. I'm very happy with it so far. Highly recommended!!!!
I just wish I didn't have to leave finger prints on the LCD screen.
