Sony DCRHC52 for movie making?

Question by save_thetrees: Sony DCRHC52 for movie making?
I’ve been planning on buying a camera for making short films. Nothing too fancy, but I’d like them to be a decent quality. I’ve never owned a camera before and this one has had good reviews. I was wondering if anyone has used this camera for movie making and what they thought of it? Pros/Cons, etc.?

Thank you!
