Still Camera The major by Anton Tobias After looking at the specifications of the new HDR-HC9, I noticed that the Sony HDR-HC7 (last year model) was almost identical to Sony's new MiniDV technology. I started digging in the specs department for some time, both the Sony website and here on Amazon. I was able to differences between the two to determine: - Sony HDR-HD9 boasts specs that Amazon has been upgraded to a USB 2.0 connection, leaving behind the old 1.1 design, but the spec sheet on page Sony resemble the initial dispute this, claiming that the HDR-HC9 is still plagued by old technology. I have rarely seen any kind of video camera for pictures, I have a 512 MB Memory Stick installed in my unit to "just in case" moment we all have inside Even on those rare occasions when he takes a couple of stills experimentally during the holidays, I always use a card reader to transfer images to my computer, not the USB interface - The supplied software is obviously outdated. Sony HDR-HC9 comes with Picture Motion Browser version 2.0.17 - If you really care about stills (and take a lot of them ... I mean many) of the Sony HDR-HC9 can now handle an 8GB Memory Stick 4 SE compared with the HDR-HC7 is. - The overall color of the new HC9 is black (which I prefer over the cheap space-age looking silver HC7) but this is just the preference of consumers, there is no reason to upgrade. - Has published on other sites that focus manually HDR-HC9 has improved over the HC7. I have done everything possible to get something else, but honestly, this is all I could find. This camcorder is basically the HDR-HC7 with a coat of paint and some minor modifications. This is not a bad camera ... far from it. I shoot exclusively with Sony camcorders and this is by far the best I've ever owned, if you happen to own the HDR-HC7 not be fooled into upgrading. Because a few minor spec differences noted above, you already own the new HDR-HC9 minus 8 GB Memory Stick storage capacity and the onyx color scheme. Compare the specs for yourself, if you have something that distinguishes these two models are, please list them in the comments for this review. I searched for 30 minutes and this is the best I could do. In the case of performance of the camera ... what can I say? It's a Sony, the top of the line. If you want to improve the quality of HD movies to shoot, but do not want to break your bank account, the Sony HDR-HC9 or HDR-HC7 is probably the right fit for most budgets. I prefer shooting with this camcorder because of the MiniDV tapes it uses, unlike all other media platforms such as DVDs, hard drives, flash memory ... and so on. This format (MiniDV) is an industry standard, and if you plan on editing video with computer software (Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas Studio) this is the only way to get DVD camcorders and hard drive requires a lot of MPEG-2, when video and the video itself is transferred to the PC and edited into files the quality of video is compressed again. Finally, when you write your finished movie on DVD files broken once more, so the footage pixilated and grotesque ... someone like you to go through a trash compactor. Something to think about. Highlights: - MiniDV (my format of choice) - HDMI hook-up (for a quick plug-n-view movies in beautiful high definition) - HDV / DV format (just in case that "you need to record in HD) - Professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T - Widescreen display - Compact size (for an HD camera is very convenient) product down-points: - I really wish Sony would give us a 25x optical zoom ... I would put this little guy as tall as the cameras in this price range - The touch screen interface is a bit 'cumbersome (sometimes feels like a maze where the rat just trying to find a single
