HD Video in 2005: Sony HDR-HC1 1080i HDV Camcorder Retrospective Review

In 2005, HD video was just beginning to take a slow but steady foothold in the consumer market. Released in 2004, the JVC GRH-D1 was the first ever HD camcorder that recorded to regular MiniDV tapes--otherwise referred to as an HDV camcorder. Not one to be outdone, Sony then came out with the HDR-HC1 a year later that, unlike the JVC, recorded full 1440x1080i resolution video (as opposed to the JVC's 720p limit). The built-in stereo microphone is hands-down the best I've ever heard. With the right amount of light, the video quality is phenomenal. The formfactor feels like an amalgamation of the best of consumer and prosumer camcorders, and the lineup of features (like Shot Transition) it sports echo that sentiment. In spite of the fact that the HC1 is just about to celebrate its 18th birthday, both the video and audio quality can live up to--and maybe even exceed, in certain cases--modern standards. 00:00 Introducing the HDR-HC1 00:24 Lens Hood & Lens 00:48 NightShot 01:05 Manual Focus & Zoom Ring 01:28 Tele Macro, Expanded Focus & Back Light Compensation 01:52 Exposure & Volume Adjustment 02:11 Stereo Microphones 02:21 Xenon Flash 02:28 Two Different Models 02:58 Active Interface Shoe 03:10 Mic In/Headphone Out 03:13 Memory Stick 03:23 Zoom Rocker & Photo Button 03:27 LANC Jack 03:30 Wrist Strap 03:41 InfoLithium M Batteries 04:08 I/O 04:29 Screen 04:50 Color Viewfinder 05:02 OSD, Shot Trans Demo & Mic Levels 06:41 Menus 07:19 Playback Mode 07:53 Memory Mode 08:09 Test Footage: Wide Angle Lens, Accessories, & Stereo Separation 12:44 Wrap-Up 13:21 P.S.
