Sony HDR-HC1Gizmodo has caught wind of rumors that Sony is about to announce a smaller, lighter and lower-priced HDV camcorder for the consumer market. The HDV-HC1 is lower-priced, HD camcorder is hyped to bring HD into the home video department. The camera records (thankfully) on a well known format, the DV.

The Sony HDR-HC3 will reportedly have a single 1/3” 2-megapixel CCD, 10x optical zoom, a 16x9, 2.7-inch, 211,000 pixel LCD viewfinder screen and will be about 5.5 inches long. The camera will record on DV tapes, and has a powered automatic lens cover that opens when the camera is turned on. The 1080i, 25 megabit-per-second unit is expected to be announced about two months from now. Being the HC3 one would expect that it will come in priced less than the HC1 (which sells for $1500).
