Product Description:
The HDR-HC9 miniDV HD Handycam(R) Camcorder delivers high definition quality and versatility with a professional grade Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens, 10x optical zoom & 20x digital zoom, and a 3.2-Megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor for stunning video and 6.1-Megapixel still images. Use the Dual Record Mode to capture still images and video at the same time, while Super SteadyShot(R) optical image stabilization helps ensure clear images. Sony's ClearVid CMOS Sensor provides stunning detail and clarity with video performance up to 1080 lines of horizontal resolution in HD format, or 530 lines of horizontal resolution in SD format. Unlike traditional CCD Imagers, CMOS Sensors require less power, providing improved battery performance. The optical zoom helps to bring the action close up from far away. The 2.7" Wide (16:9) LCD display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lenses use highly advanced optics to deliver vivid image brilliance, true-to-life color saturation, and perfect renditions of subtle tones.

- Sony HDR-HC9 6MP MiniDV High Definition Camcorder
Had a heck of a time getting the film into my Mac, and I do this for a living, so it shouldn't have been this hard, but once I got that figured out (put the tapes into a stand-alone deck) everything else came up roses. Great picture quality. Not bad audio. I can attach a wireless lavaliere microphone, which works pretty good. Would be nice to be able to control the audio in levels of the mic. I've only dinked around with the camera so far, but I'm about to take it to India on a shoot, where it will ... Read More

- First HD camcorder for me
I like this a lot. Maybe it's just because it's my first HD camcorder, but I do a lot of video editing and dvd burning of youth sports videos (for my kids teams) and this is the first camcorder (including borrowed from other parents) that I've been able to actually get really good quality DVDs burned. Old VHS-C, Hi-8 and other DV camcorders (including hard drive and mini-dv) always look fine on my tv when plugged in directly from camcorder to tv, but once all the compression and burning and whatever ...

- Great Camera, Great Video, just one small note.
I picked up this camera back in March 2008 for a one day Amazon sale of only $[...]. Amazing price! The detailed reviews are spot on. Video is stunning to say the least. I firmly believe that HDV is THE way to go still for many reasons. Highest bit rate of all HD Camcorders, The tapes are CHEAP these days and you can use regular tapes just fine, no need for any expensive HD tapes. An 8 pack of DV tapes can be had for less than $[...] at Costco or Sams club. Tapes are easy to archive as well. They ... Read More

- Great Camcorder
I love this camera! The image is good quality and the colors are vivid. I would recomended!! The only thing is that the battery doesnt last long, only about 1 hour so I would recommend a second battery but they are expensive.

- HIGHLY AGREE >>> Justin Paxton "CLOWNZ IN MY HEAD" - A Barely Upgraded HDR-HC7...But Still A Great Camera
Justin Paxton's review is right on the money. I couldn't have done better. If you want a miniDV tape format camera (for all the right reasons such as image quality, editing capability, shelf storage) then read his review carefully. I also agree, that this camera needs a 20x-25x optical zoom lens. I've been holding out until such a camera comes on the market at this price range. A 10x is basically useless to me.
