Camcorder Reviews

The Sony HC9 was released in 2008 and is currently Sony's only HD camcorder that records to a magnetic cassette. The Mpeg-2 footage it records offers excellent HD video quality and is particularly edit-friendly. It won't guzzle all your computer's processing power either. Beware though HDV fans, as this format is well and truly on its way out and may soon take the HC9 with it. It's no surprise that the HC9 is larger and heavier than the average AVCHD camcorder, as it has to make room for a MiniDV tape deck. In spite of its bulkier size, the HC9 has been carefully designed and well made, sporting a sleek, glossy black finish. In some way, the HC9 looks more like a camcorder than many of its AVCHD counterparts due to its protruding lens-hood. The lens itself is protected by automatic shutters, which open automatically when you flip the camcorder from Off to On using the dial to the right of the viewfinder. Most of the settings are found in the internal menus, which can be accessed via the touchscreen. Video playback controls are also on-screen in the HC9. The screen is bit small at just 2.7 inches (6.8 cm), especially considering that it's used for adjusting all the internal settings and for controlling video playback.
