HDR-SR12 stands out from current competition

By comparing powered up camcorders at the local Best Buy I found that the
speed of zooming and of focusing was noticably faster with this model
over the SR11 and other companies' HD camcorders.
Bought it. Picture quality is great for both movies and still shots.
Appreciated the price on Amazon. Order was filled quickly and accurately.

Great camera but need lots of CPU power to edit video

I moved from a Sony Hi-8 camera that we had for 5 years prior to this, and the first word out of my mouth was "Wow!"

The tape-based camera was great for an NTSC camera. The video and audio quality were great for home movies and the occasional training videos that I used it for at work. Aside from the fact that it was a standard def picture, the biggest complaint was for the need for tapes. Needless to say, that old camera is now gathering dust.

No tapes, no memory cards ...

Sony customer service is the issue

Sony HDR-HC7 6.1MP MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

I do not own this camera but please see my review of the HDR HC7 camcorder under that model information on Amazon. While Sony is barraging the market with new and innovative camcorders which do produce stunning video, it is product quality that becomes the issue if the camera has a problem. Sony customer service is incredibly frustrating and poor. Warranty information does not disclose astronomical repair cha...

Did not work as advertised.

Had high expectations of this camcorder when I ordered it due to the great reviews but it quickly disappointed. It obviously was defective right off the bat as the video was over colored and somewhat blurry. The still photos were horrible...period! I had one of the earlier models so I am familiar with the settings but no adjustment seemed to help. Out of roughly 200 photos taken, about 20 were good enough to make out the face of the person standing in front of the camera. The video seemed floode...

5MP sensor that shoots 10MP stills????

This overhyped product features a 5MP sensor yet Sony states it shoots 10MP still images (INTERPOLATION). Typical Sony! I've used both this and the Canon HF10 and HF100. I'd go for either of those. They are smaller with very high-quality Canon optics and they don't decive about their still image method!!!
