The only thing I can say you is that the hc1 is a great camera, I have one. I don't know the HC3, so....

There's no manual focus ring on the HC3, so that would be useless for me. The lens is only 30mm aswell, as opposed to 37mm for the HC1. Maybe this wouldn't make much difference, but I don't think Sony should be replacing the HC1.

Now if the HC3 were $1400 -- then it would make sense. Do we really know Sony is replacing the HC1????? |

Chris, that Thread seems to indicate the HC1 would soon be gone. Perhaps the new CMOS chip will go into an A2 to be announced at NAB. Perhaps the A2 will be nearer in price to the HC1.
This will force prosumers to buy the Pro Division's camcorder and not the Consumer Divisions unit. And, open a bigger gap between the A2 and the FX1. If Canon is part of Sony's ramp up of 1440x1080 CCDs, might we see an better Z1 at Canon's price? Again, forcing the Pro to part with more money. I'm not criticizing Sony -- they are losing money and perhaps feel they can can earn more by creating a different model mix. |
