"HDR-HC5 High Definition Handycam® Camcorder HDR-HC5" Review

Full Product Name: HDR-HC5 High Definition Handycam® Camcorder HDR-HC5

Pros:
It has a great design. It isn't to big, but it's hefty enough to keep your hand steady. Obviously this is a step up from DVD. Good menu interface. Can take pictures. Has a lot of features for an avid film maker. Good sized lens.

Cons:
The picture quality is not as good as I had hoped. Not really up to HD standards these days. Noise is also apparent when filming in the dark or a lowly lit area.

Overall:
A great camera for beginners in HD. Not the best picture available, but for an HD camcorder it is reasonably priced.

I give it a 84 out of 100.
