The DCR-HC90, Sony’s most expensive horizontal, single-chip, MiniDV camcorder this year is available for around US$750. It shows a completely redesigned and unique design to other Sony camcorders, continuing a trend that Sony started with the DCR-HC1000 last year and continuing with some of their models this year, such as the DCR-PC55 and their DVD camcorder line. While the DCR-HC90 does perform better than last year's DCR-HC85, with a relatively more expensive price tag, traditional lack of manual control, and glossy gadgetry, it might not be able to outsell less-expensive three-chip Panasonic camcorders.
