 Great for the money |

I bought this camera with a little hesitation because of some of the so-so reviews, but was more than happy with the purchase. The videos look amazing. Using the HDMI cable to hook up to LCD TV makes it completly worth the money. Bought this to record my wedding and am fully satisfied. The only con is the AVCHD format is not widely supported yet. My laptop won't play the files without jumping like crazy, but you can still burn the movies directly onto a DVD and play them in Blu-Ray Players like the PS3 and loose no quality. I would not let a new technology hold you back unless you plan on keeping your older computer for an extended period of time. (Then you should prob look into VHS)

Overall, it is very satisfactory.
Pros: Light weight Easy to learn and operate, Good video picture quality (I like the slow motion video quality), Big storage (40GB is big enough)
Cons: Included battery (FH60) is ok, but FH70 would be better. AVCHD format to MPEG is not perfect. Uploading from computer hard dist to camcorder hard disk is not possible (in order to play on TV, I need to bring my laptop to TV). No view finder (but, it is ok since the SR11 w/t view finder costs lot more than SR10). |
Great Camera, Technical Wonder, Yipee for no tapes!!!!

This is a wonderful camera. You can shoot and shoot and shoot with no tapes. Review your clips with a visual thumbnail index. Lots of options to customize settings via menus. Touch screen interface works well.
Picture quality is fabulous. As stated in other reviews, 3rd party software is still catching up with this format. The newest Adobe suite, CS4, can now ingest these files. However, it is very slow to process this format. You can use other 3rd party software to convert the files from AVCHD to avi or mpeg2 and get better results, but it is a bit of a drag. This should resolve itself over time.
Overall, though, well worth the trouble converting for the freedom of tapeless operations and HD clarity. |
Very good camera

| This is a really cool camera...I know it's a bit older of a model, but if you can get your hands on one I highly recomend it. It's pretty easy to use and I was impressed with the video quality, especialy the outdoor video...Of course unless you have perfect lighting NO indoor video is ever gonna be perfect, no matter what kind of camera you use.....To solve this I purchased a light by SIMA which adds plenty of light and makes the video indoors in LOW light very nice. Also I had no problems with my vista laptop, the Sony software reads the camera right away, I imagine some of those complaints are rather old and the problem has been fixed. Sony just seems to do it right with their camera's....I recomend this to anyone looking for a good HD camera at a low price. |
