Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
At less than two pounds, the super-compact DCR-HC1000 MiniDV Handycam camcorder features Sony's three-chip, one-megapixel Advanced HAD progressive scan CCD technology.Each CCD imager is dedicated to a primary color. They separate light passing through the lens into individual color components for noticeably sharper images and colors. By giving each lens its own megapixel imager, the camcorder captures the intense detail and color that expert videographers appreciate.And for the first time on a 3-CCD camcorder, high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T optics has been incorporated for improved sharpness and resolution, along with higher contrast.

5 out of 5 stars This 3 CCD camcorder is amazing !   December 24, 2007

4 out of 5 stars QUESTION   December 28, 2005

this appears larger than the PC-1000, and its not clear to me what you get for that extra size other than a little extra zoom and the swivel mount. anyone know the difference? thanks.


4 out of 5 stars The Best for the Price   July 26, 2005
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

It is an excellent camera, probably the BEST on market for the price you pay, excellent video quality, and good pictures too.
But need to improve 3 points:

1- You Cannot wath it on a PAL System TV, Thats important to me because have to travel a lot to Europe, but cannot show what i have recorded to my family there. All my olds cameras have that option.

2- The Microfone is not as good as the cameras with the Mic on Front. This camera havi it on top, why? i don't know

3- Most of the funtions are on the touch panel, i want the white balance out, and maybe some others funtions.



4 out of 5 stars Love this camcorder but...   July 14, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is the greatest little camcorder in the world with lots of bells and whistles that would have been way more expensive a while ago. I do wish that it had actual fstops rather than a slider on the touch screen for more accurate adjustments, ditto shutter speed and the manual focus is a bit fussy. More easily accessible manual controls would make it close to perfect. the touch screen takes a little getting used to and is not the very best idea. Other than that image quality is terrific under all sorts of different conditions, a camera mounted mike has decent sound and it is really a pleasure to use.


4 out of 5 stars Super Camcorder in its Class   June 30, 2005
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I had this camcorder for about a year and think this may be the best small 3-ccd in its class.
Pros: true to life picture; fine low-light shooting, manual functions; optical stabalization; advanced audio features; comfortable grip
Cons: most controls on LCD; jumpy flashcard recording (limited to no more than 15fps)
