I love the camera so far. The still pictures as well as the video are truly amazing with the 1080i HD. I’m using it for my two passions - my family and paranormal investigations. For the latter Sony’s Night Shot can’t be beat. Personally I dont feel that the extra 200-300 dollars for the HC7 is worth it, but to each their own.

If you have an HDTV at home and appreciate the HD quality channels, this camcorder is a must companion for your family and your HDTV. It is compact and user friendly with lots of useful features and the HD (1080i) video quality is stunning. We’ve just used it in an indoor birthday party at a kid’s gym with typical indoor lighting and the HD video quality played back on our 42″ HDTV was superb without an expensive HDMI cable even but with provided component video cables instead. Although it was not 5.1 surround sound audio quality but it had well exceeded our expectation of an HD palm camcorder under $1K. Normal operation can be easily controlled by either the hand holding the camcorder or the other free hand directly on the LCD touch screen. We haven’t yet tried the 4MP digital camera function which uses Memory Stick Pro Duo. All in all, this is an outstanding HD compact camcorder and is what we had expected from a Sony consumer product.
