Seeing a HC7 just left in the bare open to be destroyed just brings back so many bad memories of my HC7 being destroyed... So I had to do a tiny rant as a Vlog entry.

Shot on my new HV30 in total darkness with it's onboard light on.

Update: Now even the process of getting it fixed hangs in the balance of fate... If the price of my quote for the repair is over $250, I might not get it repaired and I'll have to live with the guilt of my broken HC7 everytime I see one destroyed on Mythbusters... and that's not easy to take in...

Update: The estimated quote is in... $310 before tax. The decision was to hold it at their center until we pay up, which is sometime at the beginning of October.

Why did you buy the hv30? Isn't the HDR-HC9 better? I know the HC7 is almost the same to the HC9...

My HC7 broke in the middle of our vacation and a HC9 was not widely available as the HV30, searched a ton of stores in Pasadena and none had the HC9. And we needed it right then and now since we were after all on vacation.

I was trying to get the HC9 to match up my HC7 footage, finding none, I had to resort to Canon.

Update: The HC7 can't be fixed until further notice. Any attempts at asking to fix it right now will result in a rage from family members and the obliteration of the HC7. (I'm serious on that) Tough economic times wins for this one. This also means the 2009 Staff Olympics Lipsync will most likely be single camera again.

Great News: The wait is over. The HC7 is being fixed as we speak! Now I have 2 HDV cameras to take to NYC for 2 weeks.

The camera is back OFFICIALLY FIXED. No more guilt when I watch Mythbusters anymore!
