The Sony HDR-SR12 HD 1080/60 camcorder has just been reviewed by CamcorderInfo and an in depth one at that which you can read via the source link below. We believe that this camcorder deserves a lot more loving.
Ok with a price tag of around $1399 it is not the cheapest option but yet still a very strong competitor to similar models, you know like that of the Canon HF10. Yes the bitrate is a bit lower than the Canon model at 16Mbps and the overall image quality was overall comparable due to the Bionz image processor and Exmos CMOS sensor.
There review is pretty good but comparing it to the Canon HF10 is not what many people would have done, because the HF is a pocket-size solid state recorder, while the SR is an HDD-based tank. The HDMI connector is a mini connector and not a standard sized one which means apparently a cable will have to be bought to get HDMI.
It does have 120GB storage which is good plus the fixed 60i framerate seems a pretty good selling point also, ok if shooting the camcorder in 30p or 24p is not that important then the Sony HDR-SR12 HD camcorder is defiantly worth thinking about.
If you know more about the HDR-SR12, please do let us know?

Have fun, and don’t forget to use Apple Final Cut Express, you can mix formats in the open timeline. Looking for a more professional option, try Apple Final Cut Pro in the Final Cut Studio Bundle. Comes with great software like LiveType, Soundtrack, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, and more.

How do you do a log and transfer to final cut pro without dropping clips whenever you turn off the computer? Does it have something to do with resetting the scratch disk? I’m going nuts! I love the camera with all my heart, but hate that there isn’t better support. I’m using a mac with an intel core, setting my audio video preferences to Apple Codec Int and HD, putting my scratch disk into my hard drive, still losing tracks whenever I shut down. I get the message “media offline” and several tracks every time with red lines through them and blank spots on the timeline.
Please help! Janelle Vigil
My final cut pro does not recognize my hdr sr 12 hd camera….what steps, and/or settings do I use to import the media…..
