Proprietary driven
I love this camera. It has more bells and whistles that I could have ever imagined. I am afraid I might have bought more that I can chew. I have read then 156 page manual and I am a little disappointed with how complex this camera is I am over 55 and techno..challanged. I am troubled by the fact that to use the HD portion of this camera I can only burn a disc and play back on a SONYBLUERAY player. I have a mulititude of recorders and players none of which are Blueray. This means I must replace ...

Sony HDR-SR11 v.s. Canon Vixia HF-11
I have purchased both camcorders (I admit via BestBuy since returns are a breeze) to compare quality for about a week, and I must say Sony wins hands down. I was actually hoping the Canon will be the winner since I own the Canon 40D dSLR and wanted to stay within brand, but I've made my choice and purchased the SR11 from Amazon. For the record, I was using iMac 3.06GHz intel proc with iMovie/QuickTimePro - none of the cameras offer any software for the Mac, but that did not seem a problem:

Best consumer level video camera on the market
As the title states, I feel this is about the best you can expect from a consumer level camera on the market today.
I have been experimenting and putting it through it's paces for a month now, and am pretty familiar with it's capabilities and quality. I am currently on my family's second vacation trip of the year and and have taken some footage ranging from indoor/outdoor pet shots, the mountains and waterfalls of western Colorado, night-time 4th of July fireworks, indoor, well-lit co...

Great Camcorder!
I have had this camcorder for 2 weeks now and have shot hd video indoors and out in low and average lighting conditions. The video is superb. Stunning clarity. It is a huge step up from the Sony DCR-TRV 530 I used to use. The Touchscreen is easy to use, large, clear, and bright. Battery life could be better, but other batteries are available. The digital stills in some cases are better than with my canon s3is. Face detection and image stabilization work well. Viewing the stills or the fo...

Phenomenal!
This camcorder is great. It replaces a SD JVC camcorder that died; fortunately just prior to my first child being born. So I did my due diligence and finally chose the SR11 from Sony. The SR12 is identically spec'd but with a larger hard drive, thus more capacity. I went with the SR11 as even on the highest HD setting, I would have to change the battery several times before the hard drive would fill up. For me I have found that decision to hold up well and I come nowhere close to filling up the ...

Awesome Video, Stills need better lighting
This camera takes awesome video. Friends and family are stunned as to how well it works on the big screen.
The 10 megapixel camera works well in daylight-so now finally we have one device to bring for stills and video when outdoors.
However-the built in flash does not work well indoors. Flash off is underlit and the autofocus fails then. You get this shaky hand icon. With flash on-subject is overlit and the redeye reduction is useless. There are 3 flash modes low, normal and high. Even...

Great Video!
I am amazed at the quality of video this camcorder can produce! It looks great on my 1080p tv. brbrI was worried about how difficult it would be to transfer the video from the hdd to a dvd. After reading reviews I decided to go ahead and buy. I just made my first dvd and it was so easy. After installing the software all I did was push the disc burn button on the camera. After that the software led me through the rest which wasnt much. Keep in mind as others have said that if you record in...

Incredible!!!
I fell in love with this camcorder after spending countless hours on the web, doing research and reading every single review I could find...
I've had it for about a month now and I'm still discovering new features and experimenting recording in different lighting conditions. I'm really impressed with the playback quality on my 22" LCD screen (1680x1050 max resolution) but it really screams on my 42" LCD @ full 1920x1080i, never fails to put a grin on my face! :D I'm new to HD video...

Love It!
I just purchased this camcorder after researching several others. Although it is expensive you definitely get what you pay for. I am still learning the functions but it was easy to get the basics down in a few days. It is small and easy to carry. I alsopurchased the accessory bag that came with the extra battery. The bag is larger than anything I would want to take with me all the time but it is basically a free bag because the battery cost that much anyway. I did buy a smaller sony bag that I a...

Maybe my expecations were too high?
I like this camera. I like the size and the feature set, but to my eye, the AVCHD video quality isn't quite there. It's good, but there is still some "star-stepping" visible around light and dark points, particularly in lower light. I'm comparing this to HDV video shot with my HDR-HC1 and I prefer the less compressed HDV video. That being said, I don't miss the video capture process I had to go through with HDV to get it onto the computer for editing, so I will keep this camera. FYI, for tho...
