New Video Camera

Well after saving for ages I just ordered myself a new video camera.
5 days or so till I get it.

the Sony HDR-HC1

Its a fairly new High Definition (1080i) camera.
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-HCR-HC1-Review.htm

It was cheap ($1890), high definition, small, light, good performance and has decent amounts of manual controls.

I did lots of research beforehand, and while sadly its only a single CMOS camera (its big brother the FX1 is HD and 3ccd but $4200) it rates very well against other prosumer or professional cameras, giving better images than all but the most recent non HD 3ccd professional cameras.

So the next season of Robot Wars in NSW will be recorded in HD (not that I can burn HD dvd's but its nice to have it there in HD for the future)

I will also bring it to robowars, so Brett if you want an HD recording of robowars as well and have an extra someone who can film the entire thing then its all yours, otherwise I will do my best to film the fights between hopefully infrequent repairs to my robot.


Now once i get it I wonder how long till i gaffa tape it to my car....
(I estimate 13 seconds or so)
