    This High def., hard drive comcorder is perfect.

    By Joshua  Oct 27, 2006 | 11 out of 15 found this Sony HDR-SR1 review helpful

    Pros: It has everything you could need

    Cons: Just the software that comes with it.

    This camera was perfect for me. At first I was looking at sonys dvd-505 because of the burn to dvd. Then I saw the HC3 with the High def. but i didnt like that i had to buy small dvds or tapes. When I saw this camcorder and the options that it had, i...t was perfect. I have had it for about a week and a half now and I only paid 800 for it. I have only been doing a little recording but when I do it looks perfect on my 57inch sony high def tv. Also when i played it back on the tv I thaught that my lens had something on it. Turns out my tv had a spider in it and had put a spider web on the screen. I didnt see that before playedback with this camcorder. I was thinking that with the hard drive that i would have to wait for it to be stored for like a min or two. But it is like only 2 seconds then I can record some more. The sound quality is also very good. When I played it back on the tv it recorded the door opening and everytime i watched it i thaught someone came into my house. The 3.5inch touch screen for me is very easy to use no problums with that. I find that all the buttons are easy for me to get to. I have a HP media center computer m7570n and when I went to make a dvd it was really very quick with the on touch button option and with the supplied software but I dont really like the supplied software. Playback on the dvd was also very good. I would say that if your looking for a high def. camcorder get this one you will love it. Read more Less

    Once it's downloaded forget about high definition

    By Chris H  Dec 20, 2006 | 9 out of 11 found this Sony HDR-SR1 review helpful

    Pros: small, Sony

    Cons: Memory Hog, High Definition burner another $800, Software for HD editing BIG $$$

    I recommend another camera to this model, the Sony HDR-HC1. This is because you can pop in the tapes anytime and watch true HD footage AND you can still download the footage to your computer! . Once you download your footage from the HDRSR1 you will ...not be able to watch it in HD again until you buy a computer with a Blu-Ray HD Burner or buy a $800-$1000 external burner. You want to talk about a memory hog? 1 hour of HD takes up minimum 30 gigs of space! Better buy a $300 external hard drive too if you want to keep your videos... Oh by the way even if you could burn HD better have a HD compatable DVD player;) Read more Less
