The Sony HDR-HC3 4MP High-Definition Handycam MiniDV Camcorder Does What It Says

By Adam Adinew


Experts and aficionados in the US and Canada have been quite impressed with what the Sony HDR-HC3 handycam video camera offers. The video camera can record in both SD and HD modes, allowing for the move to high-definition without the need to remain compatible with standard definition equipment.

With the clear vid image sensor, the HC3 camcorder has set in place a new standard in resolution quality. You'll have exceptional color and stunning detail by having this sensor. With a dual recording option, you can shoot HD videos or shoot 2.3 megapixel still photographs. With smooth slow recording as an option, you can record rapid action sequences and play it back in slow motion. Everything you could want or expect to have, you will get with this digital camera. You can expect great detail and clarity with the video and pictures due to the clear vid CMOS sensor. You will get a better performance from your battery, as the CMOS sensors require much less power than conventional CCD imagers.

2.3 megapixel still pictures are able to be captured, even while recording in HD, and sent straight to the memory stick duo media. Videos recorded on the HDR-HC3 can be played back on Mini DV tape players in either SD or HD. Sony in addition has come up with real-time MPEG encoding and decoding. You'll find that the MPEG format is quite small in comparison to other formats and doesn't drain battery power. MPEG-2 compression is provided by the codec engine, with clear HD images being shot and played back at the same bit rate of DV. You can get close to the action with the help of the HDR-HC3 optical zoom. The digital zooming is better, with not as much distortion, because of the digital boom interpolation.

The resolution on the 2.7 wide LCD display has improved resulting in excellent viewing clarity. The LCD display screen swivels up to 270 degrees allowing you to shoot in multiple viewing angles. The display's clear and fine details makes it simple for you to monitor or playback your videos. Additionally, you will be able to shoot your video in 16:9 mode for your widescreen TV. You actually can't fail with the Sony HDR-HC3 videos thanks to all the great features and outstanding video quality. While no video camera is flawless, the Sony HDR-HC3 is fairly close to it.

If you do your research, you'll discover that the reviews are quite positive with a few wrinkles here and there. You'll discover that some people thought the camera is a bit expensive. Some didn't think the support was very good, but you can never please everyone. When you're deliberate in your search, you may find that this camera is what you want.
