Ok so my dad sold the cam I had been useing "ie". the trv80 so untill I get my broadcast camera in sept he brought home a HDR-HC1 for me to use.. My first impressions of the cam were that its about the same size as my old trv80 but the hc1 is lighter, also it shoots alot smoother and the menu is very imperssive too (not bad for a loner cam). I dont have a HD DV tape yet so I just filmed in standard DV format to see the quality. It is a 1 ccd with cmos and has both the new super steady shot and the new super night shot. here are some pics of it along with the test video I made.The video is in Xvid because I like .avi format so it wont dtream but its only 25mb

pretty cool man. I want one

I have to admit it's a good looking camera. It's a shame it's only 1ccd. How good is the nightshot Brent?

I think HD is ahead of its time. Very few have HD tvs, which is where the only noticable improvements are and very few have computers that could handle editing with HD quality footage. I'd much rather have a 3ccd camera compared to a 1ccd HD. However it does look nice and probably attracts a lot of girls, maybe.

Now don't just stand there, Make a half circle of the house
and back. To make it smoother when you walk, bend at
the waist and hold camera without looking in it. Panning
slowly left to right as you walk. Pause at a flower or shrub.
