This is the SONY HDR-HC1E the commercial release of the professional standard camera available for businesses. It has only been used to film half a dozen small events before my freelance photography business folded last year.
It is still in excellent condition and the sale includes a tripod and carry bag for the camera as well as extra battery and other accesories.
The price is negotiable.
Below are the specifics of the camera as quoted from the SONY website.
