Sony HC3 hi-def camcorder - the wave of the future at lower prices!

by jemaer_rf , Apr 19, 2006
Pros: Hi-def video, portability, and inexpensive, once you consider what you're getting. HDMI output!
Cons: Low capacity Memory Stick Duo card provided, almost useless viewfinder, proprietary hot shoe!
The Bottom Line: Definitely highly recommended. Finally, a hi-def camcorder that is portable and under $1500. While not cheap, I consider this a great value considering what you get.

A great entry level HD camcorder

by coldintoronto , Jun 19, 2006
Pros: HD@1440x1080i works; cheapest HD camcorder you can find;
Cons: no software; no cables; too barebones; no analog video-inputs.

This reviewer recommends this product.

Overall, it has performed surprisingly well, and I have not been disappointed.
