Sony HDR HC9 - Mini-dv, High Definition Magic

Trying to come up with inspiration for another short video...

Done a whole lot of research on video cameras too and have my eye on a particular model.

Another Sony and mini-dv as well. I like the tape format and it still captures the best images.

The big differences for me will be widescreen (16:9) mode and High Definition.

The model I want... A Sony HDR HC9

Mini-dv as I previously mentioned it comes with a host of features that offer great functionality.

• Manual focus as well as touch screen focus
• Microphone and headphone jacks
• Manual shooting options
• Removable lens hood and
• Full HD 1080i footage on standard mini-dv tapes

I have always felt comfortable using Sony camcorders and this model has strong appeal for me.
