...through dropping the camera, however, Sony have added a G sensor which knows when the Camera is falling, so the hard disk drive can protect itself to ensure that your videos are kept safe. This camera also has a lovely 2.7 inch touch screen, which makes going through menus a breeze. There are other features such as the external microphone, photo mode, and a great 120x digital zoom. I bought this when HD camcorders were first arriving onto the market. ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: None!

My Dad purchased this camera last week. Its very easy to use, it also has a switch for nightshot mode which allows one to capture whats going on in the dark. The 800,000 pixel resolution is equivelent to the quality of standard dv cameras. Which is pretty good. If you don't want to spend too much on a camera this is the one you should go for. Another feature i like is that you can drag and drop the mpeg movie files from the camera to your pc, the ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent video and stills quality, Large 3.2-inch panoramic screen, Sufficient manual controls
Disadvantages: No wind filter, No HDI cable supplied

I managed to get one of these on test and I must say it was an excellent piece of kit. The picture quality of the video was excellent and so was the performance, as for the still photos, very impressive for a camcorder. There are also sufficient manual settings, so if you’re like me you'll have plenty to play around with. However, you will have to use the 3.2-inch touch screen to get to some important functions, which can be an annoying way ...
...you to save hours upon hours of full 1080 HD video The large 3.2 - panoramic screen is of good size but the screen is still fingerprint prone. The fingerprints can be distracting at times when recording. If you're in the market for a hard-drive-based high-definition camcorder, you won't go wrong with one of these Sonys. If 120GB is too much for you, the HDR-SR11 offers a 60GB drive and the rest of it is the same as the SR12 Good Points * Excellent ... Read review

Advantages: light, compact easy to use, excellent optical zoom
Disadvantages: no external mic or light no remote

I bought one of these 3 weeks ago to go on holiday. I also bought a spare battery off ebay (£11). I am a bit new to camcorders, only having an ancient Sony before. So having fiddled around with the settings managed to produce the first tape in absolute silence. So then I read the book, and got the soung working again, (my fault) The 740 is AMAZING. even the standard (808)battery will run off 2 tapes before giving up. and the bigger (815)spare battery ...
...tapes (60 min) and didnt run out. Back home connecting to the PC was easy and I just let Pinnacle Studio do all the work. Editing is simple using it. And the results were great. The fold out LCD screen has a joystick on it and you can do just about everything from there. The colours are rich even in the eyepiece viewfinder. This isn't a professional model by any means, not having options for an external microphone, nor built in light, but be serious, ... Read review
