DRC-HC90 happiness
I did quite a bit of homework before purchasing the HC-90. I wanted High quality DV in a 16:9 format. I own a 42" Sony LCD HDTV and I wanted sharp, high quality performance.
Other factors for me: Solid build (exterior), and good quality parts (interior). Firewire, size, ease of use,...

Best Low Light Camera
Previously, I ran out and bought the Canon ZR 65MC camcorder to capture my 1 year old daughter's first Christmas. The result with that camera was awful indoor and lowlight films that were grainy and unwatchable. My mission this time around was to find a camera that performed well in that condition...

The DCR-HC90 is 'Rock Solid'!
I received this camcorder today and was amazed myself at how small and compact it was.
BATTERY- I charged up the supplied battery and was a bit disapointed in discovering the battery indicator said I had only 80 minutes of power should I use the LCD display and a just as paltry 90 minutes...

Selling like hotcakes, now I see why
I picked this little gem up at the Sony store less than a month ago. They had all their camcorder models lined up on the shelf and the HC90 stood out like a Beauty Queen on a Catwalk. The overall design is an aesthetic masterpiece and fits ever-so perfectly in the palm of one's hand. It is super... Read full review »
No Mic port
I bought the Sony HC90 based upon information that an external microphone could be hooked up (I also bought the Sony WCS-999 wireless microphone to work with it). Turns out the only microphone that can be hooked up is a proprietary clip on top of the camcorder microphone. Even Sony's wireless... Read full review »
Better than Panasonic GS250
For the last 24 hours I've been performing my own live test between the Sony HC90 and the Panasonic GS250. In good lighting conditions, the GS250 has somewhat better recordings -- clearer and better colors. However, that is only in the best of recording conditions; in real-life situations...

Almost professional grade video quality
I purchased Sony Handycam DCR-HC90 Mini DV Digital Camcorder to replace my aging 8 year old Hi8 camcorder, also from Sony. The old Hi8 camcorder still works quite fine, it's just too heavy and bulky to carry around (which is somewhat funny: 8 years ago it was considered quite compact and very... Read full review »
Excellent -matches 3cmos and 3ccd
I bought the camera as an upgrade to my last Sony that went out of commission after about four years of service, the Sony dcr pc9. I needed something small and wanted something Sony. Tried the Panasonic 3ccd camera. It was terrible in low light, which is important to me. Even though I can get a... Read full review »
Good picture, restricted battery life, no ext audio
[update: camcorder DIED. Tape does not eject. No solution except a flat fixit fee for more than the camcorder is worth. It may be a resold lemon; be careful buying camcorders on Ebay! Replaced with a Canon Powershot SX100.]
I've owned this camera for 9 months now, second-hand from E-Bay...

Mine Died a Little After a Year
I shouldn't say mine died exactly, but it's practically of no use. When I bought this camcorder about a year and a half ago, I loved it. I even liked the touch screen, thinking it was so "new". Well, I regret that now. About 13 months after the initial purchase, the screen started to act up. I was... Read full review »
