Customer Review: Would you ship a thousand dollar camcorder like a five dollar book?!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The camera is a great product, no doubt about it~ There are plenty of reviews on that issue.
But let's talk about the intelligence and customer care behind shipping an expensive, hard disk drive based camcorder in a box with zero protection. That's right, not one ounce or penny spent on preventing damage to a piece of delicate electronics that is shipped from across the country, in the middle of the winter! Yeah, I paid for express shipping because I obviously didn't want it going through the mail for a weeks time, but anyone with experience with UPS realizes the limits of care given to a random package in a pile of boxes that are routinely tossed from one end of the truck, I've seen it done many times, to the other as they try to make it through their route.
Wake up Amazon!!! Even the five dollar books I order from you benefit from being shrink wrapped to the bottom of the box thus preventing free form bouncing as they make their journey in the realities of modern day high volume shipping. Use some, read ANY, care~ for the love of common-sense!
Customer Review: HD-SR12

Using this to records kids events, etc. Works fantastic most of the time. Camera does have some trouble at sporting events at dusk/early evening. Seems to have trouble focusing during these times. Awesome picture, features, etc. The software bundled does a pretty good job of importing videos. That is about all it can do. I am struggling to find real editing software for AVCHD. Thinking of just going with SONY Vegas based on comments from friends and coworkers. These videos eat up a LOT of disc space. Now looking for a new computer with MASSIVE processor/memory/storage WITH a Blu ray burner. It should not be this difficult. I am shooting everything full HD. Why else buy an HD camera right? My only recommendation is to shoot the essential moments you need. Else you will pay for it editing (trying to) out all the undesirable frames.Customer Review: great product!

I got this cam for around 850$ near thanks giving sales in 2008 and I am quite satisfied with the extra clear resolution that it provides... The only issues I have seen so far are two:
1. The videos when downloaded and played in a computer have a slight lag in voice to video rate.So voice is lagging behind the video.
2. In low light conditions at night , it just behaves as a common standard definition cam and has a hazy , grainy video.
3. The still pictures are good enough but not awesome.
Still its a good cam and much better than the standard definition cameras.
Thanks.
Customer Review: very good camcorder
Summary: 4 Stars
It was not 5 stars because of the battery duration, but the image is sensacional on LCD full hd screen.Recording on hdd is very easy and preserves the quality.In the beginning there are too many options on the menu,but as you get aquainted, it becomes easier.I had to purchase a mini HDMI (expensive).It could come with the camcorder.The compatibility with vaio is poor because of lack of software to convert easily diferent types of media AVCDH,MTS,M2ts and you cannot play directelly your movies on the Full HD vaio I've purchased with.The software that make videos is graceless.I recomend this product because the impressing quality of imageCustomer Review: Help somebody, please!!!

Hey, I bought this camera recently and am impressed with its quality. However, I have a problem. I am unable to transfer video taken in HD mode to my computer(PIV Service Pack II, 2GB RAM,320GB Hard Disc space and 3.05Ghz processor)
The video is all in MTS Stream and when downloaded in the PC, it plays back very slowly and with jerks, while the same video plays perfectly and then some, on the TV, when the camera is connected to the TV directly.
The software is installed but.......I need help guys!!
