Summary: HDR-SR12E
Comment: I updated my old Tape FUJI camera for the Sony SR12E unit and the performance of this camera is brillant. The operation is easy and not difficult to to get great results out of the box without having to go through the CD based manual. The camera is a little heavier than the current small camcorders but this one is packed with features with loads of options.
There is a couple of problems however. If your hand is not too large it can be difficult to reach the top mounted "Photo" and "Zoom" buttons. Another excuse for the wife not to use it. Likewise the record button on the back can also be diffiecut to reach but I am getting used to it. The backlight compensation switch is activated using a very small button just under the front of the lens which takes a bit of finding when you are in the middle of shooting a scene.
The optional 37mm ND filter and Polarising filter kits are not available as they have been "Discontinued" according the the local Sony shop. Strange for a "NEW" camera product.
Other than that the camera has with its 120GB hard disk storage got loads or capacity before having to upload into a computer for burning to DVD. The camera has a very simple to use editing function where you can split the recorded image at selectable points to get rid of unwanted sections and then discarding the parts you dont want. I have no idea as to the data managment of the hard drive when sections are deleted but hopefully Sony will have worked out the problem of de-fragmentation of the drive so that delted files dont use up recording capacity without having to clean up the drive from scratch.
Only one last comment. If you can afford one GET one you wont be dissapointed.

Summary: magicgate memory stck
Comment: I purchased a brilliant Sony HDR SR12 a few weeks ago ,and a Sony 4GB memory stick, which is on the adjacent site, only to find out that "MagicGate" is not compatible with the Sr12. You will only find this out on the downloaded manual ,and that is on Page 105 of the Maintenance and Precautions section...
