Re: Sony Dcrhc48 1ccd
its compact (as i do most stealth filming)
25x optical zoom, where as all the top end models only have 10x, which in my opinion isnt enough
its the SONY brand, which i already have 4 batteries for, 2 being 500+ minute ones
i can get a good deal on it from my friend who works at one of the electrical shops here
its got the widescreen format
it has an eye piece
the only bad things people have pointed out in reviews etc are the touch screen getting dirty, i already have a cam with a touch screen, and its been through some rough times, but the screen has been kept clean enough for me

Re: Sony Dcrhc48 1ccd
one thing i havent been able to find out (through my dumbness or tiredness:P) is wether or not i can connect a mic to the cam or not
i was looking at the mics on the sony site
http://www.sony.com.au/dis/catalog/prod ... ryId=22268
and there are 4 listed, and again i have no clue which one i would want to go for
i will be mainly filming bands with the cam, and they will be both outdoor and indoor, so i dont know if that helps

Re: Sony Dcrhc48 1ccd
Perhaps you are "relieved to" hear that you can not add any mics in this model. This one is missing the active shoe.
About that Zoom. More isn't the best. The more you zoom more it starts to shake if shooting by hand. Even it may start to vignetting when light cannot enter the lens when zooming.
But other then that it's good average MiniDV Camera.

Re: Sony Dcrhc48 1ccd
Might I say that HDV is one thing to consider. If you don't have HDV equipped TV or other (PC etc..) you can always donwconvert HDV -> DV and it's always much better looking when shooting with normal MiniDV.
