Yeah, that pretty much sums up this thread, but what about the true slow motion? Alot like slow motion and will probably want to do it at some stage, so is it anygood, do u just punch in how many frames u want it to take a second or what?

....wait a few years? erm no, i would like a new camera in the next month or so. I was asking is the hd feature wasted if i dont have a high def tv? I wasn't asking how the world is changing. I also don't see me buying a HD tv, for quite a bit
Well, just because you can't see it in HD right now doesn't mean it's wasted. It gives you higher resolution to work with in post, and if you ever market it HD could be a big selling point. Basically what I'm trying to say is, it doen't hurt.
Losing consciousness,
in the arms of an angel,
I find only peace.

Oh ok. Yes you need HDTV to view HD films. The world cup is also filmed in HD. It's just another feature. If it's normal TV, the 'shorts' will just switch to normal ones.
Ye, i think i might go with the hc3. I will be buying it soon, when i have some money. Also, you can connect an external mic with the hc3 on the hot shoe. The downside to this is that there are only two choices of microphones, so the variety is very small, but i am certain that sony will bring out more in the future.
Can't the HC-1 film in SD? Cause if it can, get the HC-1 and use that; you'll be ready for the future with a great camera now. And no, HD is not wasted, you can downrez the footage from the HD cam to get incredibly sharp near 4:4:4 SD footage.
