Sony DCR-HC90 Review
The good: Top-loading tape compartment; built-in lens cover; wide-screen LCD; novice-friendly Easy mode; crisp, colorful video; supports true 16:9 recording.
The bad: Autofocus can be slow to lock on; LCD seems small for shooting in 4:3 mode; some onscreen menus difficult to navigate; no manual shutter-speed control.
The bottom line: If you're ready to make the move to 16:9 videography or want to shoot a lot of romantically lit scenes, look no further than Sony's top-of-the-line single-chip Handycam.
