      Sony HDR-HC9: Sony Mini DV camcorder a rare beast

      By Chris Jager

      Review summary: WITH Mini DV's being replaced by the more convenient AVCHD, the HDR-HC9 may be Sony's final foray in the high definition Mini DV market.

      Pros: Superb 1080i image quality, loads of manual features, reliable build quality, intuitive user interface

      Cons: Not much has changed since last generation's HDR-HC7

      Verdict: If you prefer the familiarity and reliability of HDV tape, the Sony HDR-HC9 is one of the best (and only) options on the market. Sticklers for value may want to check out Canon's HV30 though - it's every bit as good, yet cheaper.

      Camcorder Review Sony HDR-HC9 HDV Camcorder

      By Greg Robinson

      Review summary: Sony's new HC9 looks and feels a lot like last year's HC7, all in all a good thing. The design proves to be solid and usable, and it captures good images. For some users, the very best feature is one you can take out and hold in your hand: tape

      Pros: Tape-based for easy archival Wide array of manual controls Great image quality

      Cons: Lens hood obstructs flash and IR light Small Cam Control wheel Curious menu layout

      Verdict: A robust, flexible camera. Good choice for those who want their video on tape.

      Sony HDR-HC9E HDV Camcorder

      Review summary: Sony's HDR-HC9E camcorder remains loyal to the tape-based HDV format, so how does it stack up against the competition?

      Verdict: Sony has consistently been dumbing down its high-end consumer HD camcorders. Where the HDR-HC1E was an enthusiast's dream come true, its successors have increasingly focused on ease of use over semi-professional features. Although the HDR-HDC9E offers ...
