What is sony hdr hc1?

The Sony HDR-HC1 is a high-definition camcorder released in 2005. It features a 1/3-inch CMOS sensor and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 10x optical zoom. The HDR-HC1 can record on both MiniDV tapes and Memory Stick Duo cards.

The camcorder captures 1080i HD video and 2-megapixel still photos. It also has a 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD display and a color viewfinder. Other features include Super SteadyShot image stabilization, Intelligent Pop-up Flash, and a built-in microphone.

The HDR-HC1 was well-received by critics and won several awards, including CNET's Best of CES award in 2005. However, it was also criticized for its high price and lack of image quality compared to more expensive professional-grade camcorders.

Sony stopped selling the HDR-HC1 in 2007, but it remains a popular choice among videographers and filmmakers who want a compact and portable HD camcorder.
