The DCR-HC90 is 'Rock Solid'!

Author's Rating:

Pros: COMPACT size, excellent movie quality, clear sound, touch screen LCD, quick zoom and auto focus.

Cons: Awkward ergonomics, battery life, slow to focus when using nightshot.

Bottom Line:
I've seen several camcorders for more than $730.00 with the same if not fewer features. Still photo quality is about the best with this camcorder than any other too. Read More
