      Sony Handycam HDR-SR12

      Review summary: 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 ...

      Verdict: Video clips recorded with the test camera were sharp and colourful with well-contained saturation levels, particularly in the HD modes. With the default settings, exposures appeared to be pitched at capturing shadow detail and highlights were ...

      Pros: Great image quality, Vast storage capacity, Big, crisp LCD screen, Easy to hand hold for extended periods

      Cons: Battery only good for 90 minutes, Touchscreen menus require familiarity, 10.2-megapixel claim is all marketing

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

      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 ...

      Sony HDR-SR12

      By David Kender

      Review summary: The noteworthy performance Sony HDR-SR12 is largely due to the new 1/3.13-inch ClearVID CMOS sensor featuring Exmor technology and the new Bionz processor. These technologies have been in use on some of Sony's professional camcorders and its DSLR ...

      Verdict: For all the great intentions with which we buy camcorders, most people rely on Auto mode most of the time rather than getting bogged down with manual controls. Sony has never slouched in this category, offering excellent automatic responses to changes ...
