Summary: Filming Great Moments
Comment: I took the camera to China to film the Olympics and have come back with some great clips. Filmed in the pool (and my son in it!), basketball (the Dream Team!), tennis (Venus) and of course, Beijing the city, so no complaints - great quality and good sound.

Summary: love this handycam!
Comment: Great camera.......my only concern is the fact that I have to convert the files to make videos that are WMA compatible. Beautiful videos in HD!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Satisfied with it!
Comment: I bought the camcorder a week back after reading so - so reviewss. Amazingly Cnet.com didnt review this item but I found the review Cnet.au as editors choice of 8.4 +/-

I download the video to my computer but to view the video you always need to connect to the camcorder to the computer or you have to convert to mpeg or whatever the format. I am disappointed with this.

But picture quality and everything else is good.

Summary: Sony HDR-SR10 video camera
Comment: absolutely horrible customer service - never recieved the item, already two month waiting for the refund! no replies to my email from neither Amazon or the company, do not even take a chance with these guys. I posted bad review once for other product and the company called me the same day to check what went wrong, these guys care less no matter how much you write to them or about them...

Summary: Go for the next model up SR11 & skip this
Comment: This camera performs poorly in low light, as a matter of fact, when I used my 6 or 7 year old Sony TRV17 I could not tell a difference between the 2 pictures on my 50" Plazma TV. At least not for interior and low light video. Outside the picture was very bright and there was definetly a big difference between the two.
I returned this one and splurged for the SR11. You get a 60gig HD, 10MP digital stills, and just a huge difference in picture quality indoors and out. And with a 10MP still camera built in, I almost don't even need a digital.
The camera fits nicely in the palm of my hand, all the controls are convienently located.
The menu's can be a little confsing at first, but after a few minutes it becomes pretty easy to navigate around, and if you're not too tech saavy, there's always the "easy" button.
Oh also to save battery life and if you're recording in bright sunlight, the SR11 has a viewfinder which this model doesn't.
I guess I should be leaving this in the SR11 reviews pages, but definetly save a few more months, or just spend the extra money on the SR11, it's well worth the expense.
