Sony HDR-SR12 10MP 120GB High Definition Hard Drive Handycam Camcorder with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom Reviews
A lot of camcorder forums describe additional software for using this camera with a Mac, but those threads are old. (b) Amazon's item description says it has "i.Link interface (IEEE1394)." I can find no iLink/Firewire connector on the camera or in the manual, but it worked fine with USB2. Image stabilization worked very well. 3. I had to restrain my shooting early on to conserve power, so missed several opportunities. I ordered this camera in mid-August, then used it on a 7-day trip to Cape Cod.
Sometimes a manual adjustment would improve the exposure a bit, but things were fine with exposure set to Auto. 7. Mac users:. Images were beautifully sharp and clear, just what I'd expected from a High Definition camcorder.
(a) You'll need iMovie08. 5. The manual is short and not as informative as it should be; coverage of menu options is especially inadequate. I wanted to know about the HD capabilities, but all the manual says is you can shoot movies in High-Def or Standard Def. With varied lighting (full sun, heavy shade, back lit scenes), all images came out very well. In the menus on the camera itself you'll find 4 video-quality modes, but there are few details. I rate this unit 5 stars because of its great picture quality and general ease of use.
It was hard to tell whether this camera had switched from "REC" mode to "STBY" mode when I pressed the "START/STOP" button; my last camcorder (also a Sony) had a larger button and more positive feel. iMovie08 downloaded and converted the image files, and allowed editing, with no problems. Specifics:. The supplied battery (NP-FH60) will run 40 minutes of normal recording, per the manual. I'll be more careful in the future. 4.
I've never shot so much "pavement and pants legs" before (but beautifully sharp and clear), or missed so much action that I thought I'd captured. Autoexposure and autofocus worked well for me. 1. 2. 6. Autofocus was quick and accurate.
I should have ordered a larger battery (like the NP-FH70).
Sony has a one button feature that moves your video from the camera to a computer, incrementally, so was easy to get a copy of what was on the camera to a second device for backup every so often. Recording your HD video to a hard drive, or memory stick, really is a vast improvement over recording to tape. Biggest negative for me was position of camera in your hand, I found it harder to aim this camera comfortably at subjects versus the smaller DCR-PC7 format Sony I am replacing. I just made the switch, felt just like when I switched from reel to reel or cassette to CDs.being able to scan through your video clips by viewing the first frame really enhances the usefulness of viewing what you captured versus hitting forward and rewind looking for a certain spot on tape.
The zoom is incredible. We just got this camera 3 days before we took a month long trip. We actually filled up the hard drive because we filmed our son's 6 baseball tournament games in their entirety before we left.
I highly recommend it. We are blown away, even on such a large screen.
We have a 73" Mits HDTV and this camcorder looks FANTASTIC. We were sitting in nosebleed seats at a baseball stadium and we were able to zoom into the dugout, it looked like we were in the dugout filming. We've had it about 6 weeks now and absolutely love it.
This is a remarkably designed product: taking care of all the important details that a A-1 grade camcorder needs. This is my second camcorder purchase. The price is definitely on the higher side; but then, Amazon offers some great deals, as always, making it easier for the buyer. I have already used it on a few important occasions, involving long-duration continuous recordings. I will recommend it to anybody who looks for quality.its a superb offering from SONY.
very Recommended. No, it doesn't have the video quality of the cannon HF 10 but it's very close and it has much more features, better design and the still pictures are the best in its class, is also the most user friendly camera on the market.
