Sony launches new consumer HDV camcorder: the HDR-HC3

After Sony itself already a few weeks ago a handbook on the network to escape, is the whole actually no real surprise. However, there are still many unknown details about the new HDR-HC3 to report that today is officially presented. The new model is significantly smaller and cheaper than the previous Mini HDV HDR-HC1. The 1/3-Zoll CMOS sensor is new, thanks to the ClearVid technology, delivering even better color than previous Einchipper and also once again be somewhat light sensitive. This is made possible by the rotation of the image sensor by 45 degrees, which is now three times more green pixels are available. (RGB ratio 1:6:1). The effective number of pixels for video recording with 1.5 - 2 MegaPixel indicated, but there is only an electronic image stabilizer. For the picture quality makes it a high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T * lens with 10x optical zoom. The 16:9 Clear Photo LCD Plus display with 211,000 pixels and 6.9-cm diagonal (2.7 inch) should (as with all HDV models) do not provide for optimum sharpness impression suffice. The manual settings are compared to the HC1 again somewhat limited, but on the menu are still many features such as histogram or zebra-accessible features. There is even a built in digital effects, which is "cinematic" is called, but it is unclear whether it is a function Cinegamma hides. Sorely missed on the other hand you have a manual next Tonaussteuerung in any case, a microphone input and a headphone output. A true blockbuster could be Smooth Slow Record function to order the first time, real slow-motion shots possible. Here, the image converter in 3 seconds up to 200 images on which he stored in a cache. After recording these images with the normal frame rate (ie 25 FPS) on the tape. To the HDV signal to the TVs and monitors to enjoy, it was next to a component and an HDMI output. The list price should be 1500 to 1600 euro move, to be delivered in April. In contrast to HC1/A1 is a professional version of the HC3 as SONY does not in planning. Just as little is to remove HC1, the HC3. With the HDR-HC3 Sony now provides a true HDV Mini (about 500 grams), while the competition still seems unlikely to respond. Since the entry price for HDV with this model again by around 400 euro falls, it is likely that this camera is similar to sell well, as the already highly successful HDR-HC1. We ask ourselves just why Canon and Panasonic in this market does not seem to want to play? deutsche Version dieser Seite: Sony bringt neue HDV-Consumer Camcorder: HDR-HC3
