Best Camcorders of 2005

 

Not surprisingly, the Sony HDR-HC1 high-definition video camcorder topped the CamInfo Select 2005 list as “Best Camcorder of the Year".  The Sony HDR-HC1 is the world´s first affordable high-definition camcorder for under $2000.

“When we got our hands on the Sony HDR-HC1 we were floored by the stunning beauty of the pictures it produced,’ “The colors were rich and well defined, and the sharpness was out of this world. The HDR-HC1 has finally opened up the world of HD to the masses.’

According to the staff of CamcorderInfo.com, it´s never been a more satisfying or exciting time to be in the market for camcorders, with innovations across all brands. “JVC´s MiniDV GR-X5 camcorder and its sister, the flash media camcorder Everio GZ-MC500, also broke the barriers of what we thought was possible,’ said Liss. “The X5 produced the best still photos we´ve seen out of a camcorder and the MC500 brought a new level of quality to the non-tape-based arena. And we can´t forget Canon´s Optura 600, which, although a later release, packed performance and quality into the matchbox style.’
