I think the downconverted footage is better. The HC1 is being discontinued/replaced with the A1. Also look at the HC3 which is more economical.

The A1 has 1 CMOS sensor just like the HC1 not 3 CCD's. Other than the black stretch mode, it will have the same lowlight performance.

Go find an XP machine with SP2 to see if your cable or camera is bad. It happens. The computer should recognize it right off.

Most mini dv cameras have that feature. The HC1 does not and I'm glad. I prefer the photo function to always record to mem stick. Your best bet is to bring a tape to the store and try a few so you'll...

I haven't seen any that will do HD but there are some SD ones. Personally I think $2.50 cent 13gig tapes work great.

NTSC is used in the Americas and not just the US. It is, therefore, an international standard like PAL and SECAM.

HDV PAL records at 50i. HDV NTSC records at 60i. They aren't compatible (again).

I'd say a good rule of thumb is if you don't want to look at it with the naked eye, think twice about pointing the camera there. Don't forget that all the light is focused from the 1.5" outside lens...
