Sony HDR-SR12 Camcorder Review - Sony HDD
Comments:
The Sony HDR-SR12 ($1,399 MSRP) is the company's third-generation AVCHD camcorder recording to hard disk drive (HDD). The SR12 features a new CMOS sensor and DSP touted by Sony to be the best yet, along with a huge 120GB capacity. It is joined by the HDR-
Review Verdict: For shooters who need the capacity, or just like the convenience of HDD, the Sony HDR-SR11 and HDR-SR12 are strong recommendations. If you want to save some money and/or you need more portability, the Canon HF10 is your best bet. Both are great camcorders

SimplyDV Review: Sony HDR-SR12 AVCHD High Definition Camcorder
Comments:
Sony's impressive HD cam has pretty much everything a serious user might need - great handling, dual-media recording, HDMI, mic input, headphone output and a viewfinder as well as touch-screen LCD. So why the absense of a 1080p Progressive mode?

Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 review
Comments:
The Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 can record over a dozen hours of great-looking AVCHD video onto its 120GB hard drive, but it comes at a hefty price.
Review Verdict: Although the Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 is a very good HD camcorder, it costs far more than HD camcorders that deliver similar quality and features. The key question for potential buyers is whether massive storage capacity and great-quality video hold justify

Comments:
The marker has been laid down. Sony's pulled off another AVCHD stunner that will be hard to beat this year
Review Verdict: The small downside is having to edit down 15 hours of probable fluff into something watchable. Thankfully AVCHD isn't the monster format it once was and most software packages will cope, but you'll still need a fairly hardcore PC to crunch all those frame

QuickTake:
Pros: Excellent AVCHD video quality got better this time around. Extra-wide 3.2-inch touchscreen LCD is a big bonus. Outstanding sound quality.
Cons: Massive internal hard drive makes it somewhat chunky and a bit of a load to carry. The Easy button should be bigger and easier to find. And it should be red. Yeah red and all glow-y.
