Sony HDR-SR12 / SR12E pricegrabber.com User Reviews

I've only ever owned a camera up until this point but decided that I wanted to capture my new child with video, so splurged and bought the Sony Handycam HDR-SR12 Camcorder. The image quality and face recognition on this camcorder are excellent, and the si...

Sony quality, large hard drive

Uses proprietary Sony accessories

I have finally become my father. I'm geezing. This is just a fabulous camcorder, but I'm way over my head trying to get my videos onto my PC and then burning the correct format DVDs to share with friends/family. Reading the "quick start" guide plus the PD...

Terrific HD and SD video

Software is complicated ; manuals not intuitive

- Got mine at a price lower than the HDR-SR11 (60gb version) from Dell ... they'd miss priced the HDR-SR12, but you had to be fast to act on it because they've already corrected their mistake. - Picture quality is great and the face recognition tech is ni...

Picture quality, face recognition, 5.1 audio, HDMI (but mini so be prepared)

AVCHD -> Software just is not up to speed with the tech, interesting touch screen -> hard to use

This is one of the first real contenders for a decent HD camcorder you are going to be able to use on regular basis, without first having to break the bank. When I say decent HD camcorder I am not only talking about the HDR SR12's full 1080p shooting reso...

Image quality, stabilization, still features, hard drive size, hybrid recording ability, design and overall look

Touchscreen panel, price, supported software is a little lacking, didn't feel as quite sturdy as some other models

If you want a camcorder that can just about do it all, this is it. It does 3 levels of standard definition and 2 of HD (AVCHD format). I use the highest standard definition which is like the lower HD. The reason is sharing of home movies on dvd - not many...

HD, 10mp Camera, large drive, large screen

This is by far the finest consumer level camcorder available. I was considering purchasing either this camera or the Canon HF100/HF10. Both of the Canon models are fine cameras, but this camera has some definite advantages including a massive hard drive f...

Out of the box Mac Compatibility, extra large touch LCD display, Crystal Clear HD video, better than average still photos

advertises 10 megapixel still photos - actually is 5

I got mine about 10 days ago. Since then, I have been exploring this one with pleasure. Before I buy, I tried to read the reviews available on the website. I decided to buy after reading some of strengths I mentioned above. So far so good.. I really like...

Good size, HD image quality, Huge hard drive, image stabilization, Quality still camera fuction

Price, Software

I have only had one good day at using this camera. The zoom sound was great. While in an auditorium a baby near me was crying. Zooming in on the stage almost cut the baby cry completely out. The video sound was better than what we could hear during the ac...

Great recording time with nice quality graphics including taking still photos while video taping. (7.6) While recording and 10.2 in camera mode.

Slow focus especially in dark places. Accessories lacking. Battery should have been the FH70 that you will need to purchase. Also no shoulder strap. No HDMI cable
