Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony HDR-CX12 High Definition Memory Stick PRO Duo Handycam Camcorder With 12x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: works great with iMovie '09
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm upgrading from a Sony SD DV camera. Had to take all those old tapes and digitize them first.
This CX12 is made in Japan and fits my hand very well. The one gripe I had with the old DV camera was the cheap lens cap. The CX12 has a built-in one and is great to have.
iMovie '09 works great despite the note on the Apple website about tapeless Sony cameras and issues regarding having to delete SD content first. I bought this camera solely to shoot HD - duh.
The only complaint I have about this videocamera is the on/off switch sometimes turns on in my jacket accidentally.
The dock is okay and is NOT needed for charging, but is needed for video capture via USB.
Some items to think about when purchasing this videocamera:
-the 4GB MS is less than 30min of highest quality HD. The 8GB seems to make sense because that captures about an hour and the built-in battery last about 70 minutes.
-would recommend getting a small bag since it is so small.
-I also purchased the $40 Sony light for indoor shooting which I'm happy enough with as it's so small.
-may want to purchase an mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for instant viewing on your HDTV.
-the included remote seems nice and small.
-the power brick is nice and small as well.
