2006 was the beginning of the end for video tapes. The format's last few years saw the release of many different models, including this one, the DCR-HC28. This camcorder cost $280 new, but was that worthwhile? Let's see...
1/6" CCD HAD image sensor.
20x optical zoom (440x digital).
Minimum illumination: 5 Lux, 0 with Nightshot Plus.
and of course, the Sony Picture Effects.
I-link tape recording.
That's it, there really isn't anything special about it.
I give it a 5/10.
