Sony HDR-S11 The camera is capable of generating great images. The onboard mic is typical for this type, limited to about 8 feet. In order to use an auxillary mic, you need and adapter for the Sony Intelligent hotshoe, a good adapter is about $30. Battery life is shorter than I expected from a camera that uses a hard drive for storage rather than a power-hungry tape transport system, but it will run for almost an hour. Lack of an iLink (firewire) port is an odd choice for Sony, considering you're moving da...

happy customer This is a great camcorder. Takes awesome digital photos too.
Yes, it's really Full HD. Expensive, but worth every penny.

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 ...

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 ...

The dream machine! This true Full-HD camcorder is close to perfection. Light but not too light, with excellent image quality (especially when viewed on a 1080p HDTV), impressive sound reproduction, large hard drive space allowing quick retrieval of well-organized clips. Great optical zoom, great image stabilization, great built-in flexibility of image recordings, excellent connectivity options. And it has a very convenient old-fashioned viewfinder too, (lacking from most competitors) in addition to the large LCD s...

Hard drive failure; Sony will not recover videos Two months ago, I sprang for this much pricier camcorder than I normally would have because we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday with our first vacation to Europe in 25 years. With the larger hard drive on this camera, it meant I didn't have to drag my laptop along for transferring the video.
In the middle of the trip, I tried to replay the video I had just taken, and I got a screen that read, "HDD format error." Nothing had happened to the camera -- I didn't drop it, ther...

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 vid...

Five star video recording quality * * * * * Recording playback on a 26" Polaroid HDTV (1080i) via composite cables (I have yet to buy a mini-HDMI cable) - awesome video quality; looks like you're watching a blu-ray movie. However, recording quality is seriously affected if shot under low lighting conditions. It's worth every penny and don't regret it even so. I gave it a four star rating due to its user interface which requires constantly smudging the LCD with fingerprints and how knows, in time maybe it will break from all your fingerpri...

Poor Accessorizing! I'd like to start by saying first that I am amazed at the picture and video quality of this camera. If you're looking for professional results from a camcorder, this is the product for you. However, I'm one who prefers accessorizing products with accessories from the original manufacturer, taking advantage of the design/manufacturer "own" product knowledge base. Sony unfortunately makes it difficult. This camera uses AIS (Active Interface Shoe) technology; allowing the AIS accessories to con...
