Sony - Handycam HDR-SR1 Camcorder Review Summary

The Sony Handycam HDR-SR1 Camcorder is a nice new model of the Sony Handycam, which presents HD quality images, and doesn't need tapes or discs to save its images and videos. With a 30 GB internal memory, and the ability to attach a secondary drive, the camera provides not only a lot of space to save all of the videos and images, but a great battery to keep it working for hours. According to one reviewer, they were able to fit more than 20 hours of video footage on the SR1 before having to transfer anything to their computer. Other reviewers remarked about the quality of picture that the camera provided, and loved that they could use the camera with a blu-ray writer in order to get the best possible results from their videos. Other opinions that reviewers had about this camera included that "the playback quality was awesome", "takes flawless shots", and that "its small and weightless". The only real fault reviewers found with the camera is that it is still priced high. If you aren't convinced, you can also check out other reviews of Sony Camcorders and Sony Handycams on ViewPoints.

This camera is wonderful! The quality of video is second to none, and the best thing about it is that you don't need to keep buying tapes! Everything is recorded onto an internal hard disk drive (this one has a 30 gig HDD, but newer models have even bigger drives). At the highest quality HD, you can fit about 5 hours onto the hard drive. At a lower quality standard definition, you can fit over 20 hours before having to transfer everything to a computer.
The camera is a little big compared to other digital camcorders, and for someone with small hands (like myself), it can be tough to reach all...

The camera shoots excellent film and it is very easily transferred to PC for hard copy to disc. There is a lot of difficulty in keeping the native hi-def format due to file requires several DVD dsiks to record a small hi-def film. This reviewer is very eager to own a Blu-ray writer to accommodate the hi-def files in a better way while saving the hi-def memories. It is not easy to share the hi-def files via internet either due to file size and limited mediaplayer support.

I am not burderned down carring it.The directions learning how to use it are easy to follow. I am not very electronic sazzy and this was easy for me and my husband to learn to use.

This sony HD camcorder has everything you need to take an outstanding picture.

Pro: The picture quality is outstanding, sound quality is pretty good. It takes flawless shots. moving scenes are very believable. Its small and weightless for a hard drive camcorder.

 The playback quality is awesome

Con : the software it came along with is not very user friendly.
