Worst Sony camera ever!
(Ed - 4/13/07)The only negative thing about HDR SR1 is that it records in AVCHD (.m2ts) format which is basically useless beyond the camcorder itself. You won't be able to edit any of your footage. Playback on a PC is also limited to the Sony's "Player for AVCHD" that comes with the camera, even then, it requires a lot of up-to-date hardware to play it with out glitches.
Also, the hard drive feature - no the best idea. After using it for little bit you'll find out that you need a lot more than just the HDD on the camcorder so you'll dig into your PC's HDD and eventually you'll end up purchasing more HDD's just to accommodate the footage. MiniDV tapes is still the best option for videos, IMO.
Other than that it's an OK camcorder.
