Meet Sony's incredibly small high definition camcorder: the HDR-HC5. At just under a pound and a half, it has tons of features. First, it has genuine 1080i resolution, so you shoot in real HDTV. Second, it uses HDV, which brings the resolution of HD to a tape the size of a Mini DV cartridge. Menu options are easy to choose, thanks to the 2.7" wides ...[ More]

Good, not as good as hoped

I bought this while living in Hawaii and sold it a little before moving. The whole process of getting it from dv to file format was just too annoying for me. The quality of the video was pretty good, not as high as hoped. The slow motion capture was a nice feature, but was pretty restrictive.

The compact size was great and it was relatively easy to handle on the go.

I'd definitely say at this point to avoid DV even at some quality loss and go with something that is re...

Works quite well

This camera works

With ideal conditions, the camera can capture very impressive HDV footage,but with less light... it can be, well... not so good

I got this camera for home use, I own professional Sony HD cameras, so Sony is always my top choice.

For home use, its ok

Note: The deck transports are very good for a camera this cheap, and the lens is above average.

see ya!

Outstanding camera

I am extremely pleased with this camera. I have been shooting and editing video as a hobby for about 10 years and am thrilled with the image quality of this lens and the processor. If you are going to buy it, my only recommendation is to make sure your computer can handle editing HD video. It is MUCH more data than standard "Mini DV" or Digital Video and will be extremely taxing on your computer's processor.

As compared to similar products in the same price range that I tested ...

This Sony camcorder gives great high definition video for an affordable price

This Sony hi-def camcorder (filming in 1080i) provides a lot of value for the price. The key to "home movies" is always going to be the quality of the media on which you are putting your recording, and on to that end, this camcorder delivers very, very well for a relatively inexpensive price.

I bought it for about $1,000 in NYC in March 2007 just before a family trip that was to include the Grand Canyon. When I came home and played the recordings on my HDTV, I felt like I had just...

Great Camcorder

I think the HDR HC5 is a perfect camcorder for the amateur. It has great picture quality and decent sound. Good wind noise reduction. Its not that great when you record HD in a dark place but you cant expect HD to look great in dark areas. At least not in such a small camcorders. Just switch to standard and your off. All in all great buy worth the money.
