Competing Sony DVD camcorders do not use RAM media, as they’ve opted for -/+ (dash and plus) RW. Even though it has a 10x optical zoom, true 16:9 recording, a built-in flash, electronic image stabilization and a number of manual options, this is not the best camcorder available."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20050828_2159131.gif" /><br /><br />I don't know guys -- after seeing the new high-definition Sony HDR-HC1, all other camcorders seem to pale in comparison. Granted that the price is not quite as high as the Sony camcorder, this unit isn't cheap even in its own category. It is a 2MP camcorder and is quite lightweight, with what looks like a great screen. However, it simply doesn’t take very good shots, whether it be video or stills.
