Sony brings high definition video to the home with the ultra-convenient HDR-HC1E. The handy size and light weight of the camera means that home users don't need unwieldy equipment to shoot video for playing on HD compatible TVs. The HDR-HC1E is equipped with a 2.97 Megapixel CMOS sensor, so quality is ensured, while the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens delivers an equally high optical performance to match. It's handy and light but has a wide LCD monitor, is user friendly with 5 hours stamina, and can also use ordinary DV tapes.
