HD recording provides a perfect cinematic picture quality that is such an advance on traditional recording methods, that it will feel like the cinema is in your living room when you play back your home movies on a HDTV.

HDTV has recently hit the headlines with many celebrities concerned that the new improved quality of HD recording will result in every blemish and imperfection being highlighted on the big screen. Characterised by its brilliantly vivid images, and depth and tone of colours and textures – HD recordings really make viewers feel as though they are part of the action.

HDTV is high-resolution digital television combined with Dolby Digital surround sound and the highest DTV resolution in the new set of industry standards. Its higher resolution picture provides 1080 lines of resolution compared to the 525 lines people are used to with standard analogue recordings and transmissions, resulting in stunning picture quality.

The Sony HDR-HC1E is styled in the same way as the popular Sony Handycam range – combining small light weight design with state of the art professional recording technology to produce the ideal high definition camcorder for the amateur home user.
