Great Camcorder - The good and bad of Sony being Sony

(Christopher - 6/7/07)

If you go into the purchase knowing you will need a blu-ray player to watch your hd video on a disc. The picture quality is AMAZING but you have to watch it directly from the camcorder via hdmi or burn to dvd or blu-ray disc and play via a blu-ray player. The regular dvd will give the same picture quality as a blu-ray disc, you just won't get as much video on it (about 40 min.) I purschased a light to mount on top of the camcorder as the extra light helps a lot when recording in low light situations. I'm writing this on 6/7/07 and sony is coming out with a 40g and 80g version later this month. HDR-SR5 and HDR-SR7. You might want to check those out before making your decision.
