Sony's HDR-HC1 HDV 1080i Handycam Camcorder

"At first glance, Sony's HDR-HC1 HDV 1080i Handycam Camcorder looks like a regular mild-mannered digital camcorder. Don't be fooled by the disguise; the HDR-HC1 is the first consumer high-definition (HD) camcorder, and this is a watershed moment in home video. Sony still has some kinks to work out, but the video quality is absolutely breathtaking and dramatically better than any other consumer camcorder we've seen."
The camera is absolutely sweet, but there are definitely a few chinks in the overall package. But if you are a regular to this site, they are probably nothing insurmountable, just remember that you will need a rather expensive software package to be able to edit this video and you will have to wait for high def DVDs to be able to store this in an optical format.
