    It’s old news that Apple is lagging when it comes to making the Mac platform friendly with tapeless camcorders. Currently, only a few tapeless camcorders out there are truly Mac-compatible, and Sony’s high definition... Read more

    This is still a very good camcorder, and the images are high quality. With a better data-transfer speed, we would have recommended it. Read more

    • Great resolution for video and stills, Face detection, Foldout touchscreen
    • Poor mic positioning, Slow data transfer, Unclear menu system

    A friend and I used it in front of a green screen in both HD and SD. While the quality in SD turned out a little fuzzy, the HD video turned out great. Read more

Sony HDR-SR11

The Sony HDR-SR11 is a 60 GB high definition Handycam Camcorder that allows you to shoot video and still photographs like a pro.

Features

The Sony HDR-SR11 incorporates Face Detection technology, made possible by the ClearVid CMOS sensor (with Exmor technology) and BIONZ image processor, that is capable of recognizing up to 8 faces anywhere in the frame and automatically controls focus, exposure and colour to help capture smiling faces brightly and clearly. Besides that, face detection also helps make skin tones look natural without affecting other colours in the image. Not only that, the Sony HDR-SR11 also features 1920 x 1080 recording for stunning, incredibly detailed video footage in the clarity of full HD resolution. The 5 mega pixel ClearVid CMOS sensor that is incorporated delivers right, vivid and spectacularly detailed 5 mega pixel video footage, as well as 10.2 mega pixel still images while Exmor technology captures images with high resolution and high sensitivity. In addition to that, the advanced Sony BIONZ image processor also utilizes hardware-based large scale integrated (LSI) circuitry that improves camera response time, screens out noise before RAW data conversion, handles Dynamic Range Optimization processing and prolongs battery life. Besides that, hybrid recording technology incorporated that delivers a new level of flexibility for transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices. There is also the option to record to the camcorder’s internal hard disk drive, or to removable Memory Stick Duo media or memory Stick PRO Duo media. Videos and still images can also be copied from the hard disk drive to Memory Stick media using the various dubbing functions to copy and paste, without using a PC. Images recorded or transferred to Memory Stick media can then be played directly on a Sony Playstation3 or PC to share your memories with friends and family. Not only that, there is also built-in intelligent flash for added clarity and detail when taking pictures in low-light situation, as well as improve pictures and reduce shadows. The Sony HDR-SR11 runs on Sony InfoLITHIUM battery that incorporates the Stamina Battery Power management system that helps the camcorder prolong battery life for extra long continuous recording times from a single charge. Also, battery information can be display on the LCD screen when charging and even when the camcorder is turned off with a touch of a button.
