'Sony's HDR-HC7E is just such a model, and although it delivers great image quality, its price may put it out of the range of casual users, whilst its limited zoom makes it slightly unsuitable for a lot of high level amateur use.'
'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.'
