Sony HDR-SR12 Gets Reviewed (Verdict: It's a Winner)

According to Camcorder Info, Sony's HDR-SR12 is continuing to push the AVCHD format forward as a viable successor to HDV. It is, by far, the best Sony HDD camcorder on the market—and with 120GB under the hood, it is unmatched in the AVCHD category in terms of capacity. As far as performance is concerned, the SR12 held its own against even the intimidating Canon VIxza HF10, with only a slight inferiority in picture sharpness. They also noted that Sony's Exmor CMOS sensor and Bionz processor has improved in leaps and bounds over their top HDV camcorder, the HDR-HD9. More »

Justify Your Gadget: Sony's 16 Camcorders

Sony announced 16 new camcorders at this year's CES. Seriously, 16 brand new freaking camcorders. Why would any product line need so many (often indistinguishable) options? We went straight to the source to find out.

Giz Explains: Sony's Sixteen Model CES 2008 Camcorder Line

We've feared Sony's monstrous CES 2008 camcorder release since last year. It's not that we dislike camcorders—or Sony's camcorders. It's that Sony launches about 50 "new" camcorders a year and we try to figure out the trends so you don't have to run through spec sheets for the HDR-SR12, HDR-SR11, HDR-SR10, HDR-UX20, HDR-UX10, HDR-HC9, DCR-SR220, DCR-SR85, DCR-SR65, DCR-SR45, DCR-DVD910, DCR-DVD810, DCR-DVD710, DCR-DVD610, DCR-HC62, and DCR-HC52. Here's their new line, in handy cheat sheet form. Their most consumer-centric new feature? Face detection on stills and video.

HDR-SR Line: 1920x1080 AVCHD camcorders featuring hard drives up to 120GB, Dolby 5.1, Face Detection (on stills and video, which is interesting)
HDR-UX Line: Like the SR line but with DVD recording...or recording to memory stick or 8GB of internal memory (in most models)
DCR-HC Line: The guilt-ridden sector of Sony whose moms invented mini-DV still crank these models out.

Hit the jump for a full rundown with prices. Most new models will be available this March.

How to Add More Storage To Your Sony HDR-SR1 Camcorder

If there's one thing we can say about Sony, it's that they're not entirely against people modding up their gear. That is, if you don't count them forcing Lik-Sang out of business. So if you've been a bad boy present-peeker and know you're getting one of these Sony HDR-SR1 hard drive camcorders for Xmas, you'll be pleased to note that the only thing stopping you from upgrading the 30GB 1.8-inch HD to a 80GB 1.8-inch HD is a single screw.

Latest by NotaDick: Duh. You are an idiot. What do you think the model designation ending in 'L' means? Maybe 'L' is the opposite of 'H'? Figure it out yet? Therefore, the maximum possible upgrade from Toshiba at this time might be 40GB, as MK4009GAL. Of course more »

Sony HDR-SR1, Hottest HD Cam on the Market

The folks at Camcorder Info have finished their lengthy thesis on Sony's HDR-SR1. For those who don't remember, the SR1 is Sony's hard drive-packing (30GB) HD camcorder. It has the same CMOS sensor found in Sony's HDR-UX1, so it suffered from the same noise problems users complained about on the UX1. It also couldn't top the Canon HV10, which held on to its best picture crown. The SR1 did provide sharper images with less fuzz than the UX1. More »

Latest by technophobia: Umm...mreider, it's NOT standard MPEG video, it's AVCHD formatted video. That is one place Sony has dropped the ball, is software support. Your standard MPEG video editing software canNOT handle this format right now. 1440x1080--most HDV camcorders are this more »
