What reviews say:
'The HDR-HC1 is also uncharacteristic of Sony's recent announcements in it's level of manual control of audio.'
'the world's smallest and lightest high-definition consumer camcorder with full HD resolution based on HDV 1080i.'
'Beginners can start shooting right out of the box on fully automatic settings and more sophisticated shooters will be happy to find many professional bells and whistles.'
'the HC1 has one significant downside for the enthusiast: tapes load from the bottom'

What reviews say:
'comes equipped with a slide-style zoom actuator, and as before, we found it inferior to a rocker-style model for adjusting zoom speed.'
'Each CCD is dedicated to Red, Green and Blue producing a high quality video signal.'
'It's a good combination of quality and value.'
'a poor choice for point-and-shoot beginners.'
