'The HDR-HC5 is devoid of Mic and Headphone jacks'
'Colour representation is definitely one of the weaker points; despite using the new x.v.Colour international standard for space, designed to increase colour range, we still found that the camera was unable to accurately reproduce several colours, especially yellows.'
'The T coating on this particular lens goes a step further to keep lens flare at a minimum.'
'The hinge is thin, flexible, and could easily hyper-extend or even snap off if not handled with care.'
'The new Sony HD HDR-HC7 is bound to spark interest among beginning or casual shooters looking for their first HDV camcorder and even serious hobbyists looking for an unobtrusive second camcorder.'
'Annoying touch screen interface'
'Sony has attempted to improve colour shooting under low-light conditions with a 'color slow shutter', but this isn't perfect, with a juddery effect.'
'"Great film-like footage in a feature-rich camera."'
'Its batteries are interchangeable with the battery series used in the HVR-V1, and when using the NP-F970 battery, it can last for up to 13.5 hours of run time.'
'It is unclear if the HDR-HC3 is a replacement for the HDR-HC1 or meant to complement it in the line.'
'The HC3 sets the industry standard in resolution quality with its ClearVid CMOS Image Sensor™, capturing precise detail and superior color reproduction.'
'some video seems a bit too vivid at default settings, with a few colors appearing a little too bright.'
