If you've made the switch to a widescreen display, you've probably already noticed one of the unintended consequences: Your home videos don't look so good on the wider screen, especially when you compare them with widescreen-formatted movies.

Able to shoot standard-definition widescreen (16:9) video; 3MP stills; Built-in flash; Excellent product design

Video quality displayed dull colors; Stills were somewhat noisy and revealed aberrations in the details; Menu structure could be better

The Sony DCR-HC90 is Sony's most expensive horizontal, single-chip, MiniDV camera this year, a complete redesign from last year's DCR-HC85. The improvements have been more than cosmetic, too, with the DCR-HC90 testing better in video performance and low light.

It was a hoax. The product was not the one pictured nor requested model. The product is Chinese and the cover says "Model V569".

Our camera just like this one broke and we feel it was offered ar at a great price. We also have an underwater housing made only for this camera. It works perfect and we feel it wAS A GREt deal.

This is an excellent Camcorder ,but unfortunately I could only find a driver for Windows XP, but as I only need to edit and I find DV tapes the easiest way to do this, I have an XP Computer that I use ,just for this. The 3 CCD lens gives excellent filming results.

This is my second digital camcorder and I have got more than what I expected form this Sony camera. I have always been a Sony loyalist, I have a still camera and a DVD home theater made by Sony. However, I did a lot of research before buying this digital camera.

Compact; lightweight; Sony brand strength

no headphone/microphone jack; does not use older memory sticks

If you want an awesome digital camcorder...go with the Sony DCR-HC90. You will not go wrong.

My mistake was going to online retailer (reseller) xxxxxx.com for my Christmas present for my wife (digital camcorder w/accessories on 12/5/05); After 14 days, no shipment; HEY,,,Xmas is the end of the week; Killed that order and got the camcorder in 2 days from Newegg; Way to go guys; Thanks

No cons whatsoever
