Able to shoot standard-definition widescreen (16:9) video. 3MP stills. Built-in flash. Excellent product design. Video quality displayed dull colors. Stills were somewhat noisy and revealed aberrations in the details. Menu structure could be better. $705.00 - $1,000.00 Sony $999.99 RitzCamera.com $999.99 Vanns.com $999.99 • Canon • JVC • Panasonic • Sony • Samsung • Hitachi   • Casio Exilim EX-P505 • Sony DCR-DVD201 Handycam • Canon Optura 400   • How we test digital video recorders   • ProductWire Newsletter • New Reviews RSS Feed   By Terry Sullivan If you've made the switch to a widescreen display, you've probably already noticed one of the unintended consequences: Your home videos don't look so good on the wider screen, especially when you compare them with widescreen-formatted movies. For all you budding David Leans who yearn to shoot your own Lawrence of Arabia, Sony's DCR-HC90 MiniDV Handycam Camcorder is a good way to capture all your exploits for widescreen viewing, even if your choice of adventure is traveling to your in-laws' instead of to Aqaba. The DCR-H90 gives you the option of shooting in 16:9 aspect ratio, which is wider than the normal 4:3 and will play nicely on widescreen TVs.
