Ok it all sounds good from the marketing department, but lets see what real world users of the Sony DCR-HC90 MiniDV camcorder had to say: "Great, HI Res., 16:9 Camcorder" Dane Q. Kailua, Hawaii - "I did quite a bit of homework before purchasing the HC-90. I wanted High quality DV in a 16:9 format. I own a 42" Sony LCD HDTV and I wanted sharp, high quality performance. Other factors for me: Solid build (exterior), and good quality parts (interior). Firewire, size, ease of use, MiniDv, and price…. All in all, I love this little camera and I am sure that my family will enjoy it for years to come." "Camcorder Works Like a Dream" Andrew M. Alberta Canada - "I picked this little gem up at the Sony store less than a month ago. They had all their camcorder models lined up on the shelf and the HC90 stood out like a Beauty Queen on a Catwalk... I have a Canon G6, a fine device in its own right. Since I acquired my HC90, it is more or less collecting cobwebs in a forgotten corner of my cabin." "BEST MiniDV camcorder in that price range" Peter U. Canada - "I checked the 3CCD from Panasonic and the Canon camcorders. In that price range this is the best I found (if you have the extra money, the new HDV camcorder from Sony might be your best bet!)." "High quality, compact and good low light capability from Sony" Rob W. New Jersey USA - "“Was upgrading from an old Sony Trv-130 hi-8 digital camcorder. What a difference in every aspect. From size to options to exposure there is no comparison. What almost looked dull pale reddish, bordering on black and white and full of high grain from my old 130 now comes out crisp, colorful with no real visible grain from the HC90." There you have it! Nothing but good things to say about the Sony DCR-HC90 MiniDV camcorder from nearly all reviewers.
