- HC9 Features -

  • Nice camera, good size, good monitor, outstanding features and a great price point. One of my favourite ever video cameras. It is a lot of camera for the price.

  • Like all the other HDV video cameras it is important to note that these are not just dedicated 1080i High Def video cameras. They are switchable and can shoot just like any normal DV video camera, shooting at some 520 lines of resolution and are not just HD/1080i video cameras, it links the standard 520 line of DV/SD digital resolution to HD superbly and do not be scared off because it is 'high def', it is BOTH, not just HD. The other bonus is that they use just normal everday $6 mini DV tapes, so is absolutely backward compatible in both recording and playback features. Last thing, you DO NOT require a HD TV to view your footage with these things, any old TV is fine.
