Product Rating: 3.8 star(s) 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?

Review Verdict: The HDR-SR12 (like is lesser-endowed SR11 sibling) is a fabulous HD camcorder that generates hugely impressive full-specification 1920x1080 HD video pictures using the revolutionary AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) compression system. Switch off the auto mode for

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 HDR-SR12E is the latest HD camcorder to join Sony's hard disk-based range - and we like it!

Review Verdict: The HDR-SR12E exudes quality. It has Sony's characteristically solid build and is packed with clever design features. We still love Canon's HF10 for its smaller size, lower price and use of convenient flash memory. It also has a few more manual settings t

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.

Product Rating: 4.4 star(s) Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

Comments:
Sony's HDR-SR12 camcorder - and its sister model the HDR-SR11 (RRP $1999) - differ only in the capacity of their built-in hard disk drives (HDD), with the SR12 having twice the capacity of the SR11. Both models include some of the technologies developed f
