Sony HDR-HC3 4MP High-Definition Handycam MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom Reviews
| 100 of 102 people found the following review helpful  Good quality video - especially outdoors, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony HDR-HC3 4MP High-Definition Handycam MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom (Electronics) I have had this camcorder for about 2 weeks now. Overall I'm pleased. Most of my video playback has been done via a Pioneer 50" plasma HDTV so I do have a very nice playback source to judge the recorded video quality.Disclaimer - I am a novice photographer/videographer so people might correct my few gripes saying, "if you'd just set the flux capacitor settings to ...," but my review should be applicable to people that operate the camera in "easy" mode (all of my recordings have either been done in 'easy mode' or with the auto settings - not quite sure what the difference is other than 'easy mode' doesn't let you adjust anything). Pros: - Incredible detail & pretty good color reproduction when photographing outdoors. Seriously, it is almost (but not quite) as nice as watching cable/satellite HD when hooked up to an HDTV w/HDMI and/or component video connections - (I've tried both, not much noticable difference between the two, although HDMI is more...

Yes it is expensive, but, WOW the pictures is fantastic when hooked up to my hi-def plasma or played back on my iMac. It is as small and light as any normal video camera. It takes regular DV tapes, and is easy to use and easy to play back on the TV with either HDMI or Component cables if you don't have HDMI.If you are considering a new video camera, GET THIS CAMERA. It is absolutely worth the money. I went back an looked at my old video tapes, video I once though looked good now looks terrible compared to the images from this sony camera. I haven't been this thrilled with a purchase in a long time. 35 of 39 people found the following review helpful HC3 Perfect camcorder for Consumer HD recording, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sony HDR-HC3 4MP High-Definition Handycam MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom (Electronics) I have had this camcorder since Friday April 14th and have multiple opportunities to 'play' with it. Most of my videotaping has been in SD mode, not HD.This camcorder is the perfect camcorder for users who want to position themselves for HD in the future. It is capable of HD recording and the recording quality is very good to excellent. The controls are plentiful for an average consumer. However, the prosumer or professional user may be disappointed that there is no mic or headphone jack as well as no separate controls for White Balance, Exposure, Focus or AE shift. I would recommend that if you are doing any recording of music, that you purchase one of the microphones that are available for this camcorder. The built in mic is only adequate. There is a technical review of this camcorder on camcaroderinfo.com that goes into a wealth of detail if you are interested. So far, after 3 days and a church cantata, I am very pleased with the...
