I have been extremely happy with my 8 year old Sony PC100E, but that one was SD only. So, what to buy next?<\/p>\n<p>Requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Small enough to carry with you without having the feeling you are dragging an whole film crew with you.<\/li>\n<li>Very good quality video, so I looked for camera&#8217;s with very good rating.<\/li>\n<li>Large storing capacity -&gt; Which meant cassettes, as the camera&#8217;s with alternative storage are based on SD cards. Not really what I am looking for.<\/li>\n<li>HD, but as it turns out full HD (1080p) camera&#8217;s were not yet that well available or very expensive, but 1080i were much more common and rated quite well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As I have been editing video\u00a0ever since my first camera, I intended to continue doing so also entering the HD-era. Taking in all of these things into concern, I ended up buying this Sony HDR-HC9 camera. I ended up using it for a little less the 3.5 years, so here comes my evaluation in retrospect:<\/p>\n<p>In one sentence, &#8220;it fulfilled its purpose&#8221;, but wasn&#8217;t my best choice.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning everything was fine and great as you may expect from a new camera, but along the way it started to show more and more problems. The biggest problem was with the mechanism of the camera- &#8220;code 30&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>What I also didn&#8217;t understand was the difference between 1080i and 1080p. Yes, sure, I read it, but in reality you think it is about the same.. Well, it isn&#8217;t. I only noticed this with my next camera, which was 1080p and it was a big world of difference. Size, detail and quality is significantly better in 1080P.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1.png\" alt=\"star1\" width=\"27\" height=\"26\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1.png 267w, https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 27px) 100vw, 27px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-35\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1.png\" alt=\"star1\" width=\"27\" height=\"26\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1.png 267w, https:\/\/www.bluetickr.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/03\/star1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 27px) 100vw, 27px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Summer 2008 I though it is about time to enter the age of HD video.
