Camcorderinfo has an exclusive review on Sony's upcoming HDF-HC1 HDV Camcorder which will ship within two weeks:

Although the camcorder won't ship for two weeks, we have an exclusive first hands on review of Sony's new, under $2,000 High Definition (HDV) camcorder, the HDR-HC1. If you were waiting for quality consumer affordable HD in a well-built camcorder, the time has come. At a price of under two grand, the HDR-HC1 is poised to be a big seller, not only because it is the most affordable HDV personal video device yet to hit the market. Behind its HDV logo is a camcorder with an amazingly crisp image and performance in many conditions that lives up to this new technology's name.
