results of all Sony MiniDV models. With its Advanced HAD progressive scan CCD technology, illumination is improved dramatically, delivering superior low-light performance without the use of infrared technology. By increasing the CCD's sensitivity to light, clearer, brighter video with more lifelike color can be captured, even when recording in dimly lit environments. Its 58mm aspherical lens and dual-position neutral density filter minimize distortion from standard spherical lenses and compensate for varying lighting situations such as studio lights or direct sunlight.

...I got my sony camera for my birthday and what a present it was with its camcorder featuring a 3 Megapixel CCD with Primary colour filter and the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens system to realise maximum light and colour sensitivity as well as precise capture of moving images. Thanks to the CCD technology, the SonyDCR-HC90E is capable of shooting not only video but also still images with 3 Megapixel quality. The SonyDCR-HC90EHandycam is always ready to record in true 16:9 widescreen.It really is a cracking camera, great to take on holiday or for those special occassions you want to remember... In conclusion a great product with many more advantages than disadvantages but at a very expensive £330 or so may stretch some budgets to the limit!...

Advantages: lightweight easy to use Disadvantages: battery life price
...I would like to say that having bought previos sony products that I was not entirely happy with this item. Although there are a lot of good features it is not really as good as products from other manufacturers in this price range. It is fairly easy to use but can be awkward, It is quite bulky compared to previous camcorders and for the price I don't feel value for money. On the plus side the recording quality is very good and the picture quality is as good as it gets. The sound quality is about average. Having said that the playback quality is excellent. I feel that on balance this product is overpriced. I would not recccomend this item....
