• Great camera but need lots of CPU power to edit video
  I moved from a Sony Hi-8 camera that we had for 5 years prior to this, and the first word out of my mouth was "Wow!"
  The tape-based camera was great for an NTSC camera. The video and audio quality were great for home movies and the occasional training videos that I used it for at work. Aside from the fact that it was a standard def picture, the biggest complaint was for the need for tapes. Needless to say, that old camera is now gathering dust.

• Sony customer service is the issue
  Sony HDR-HC7 6.1MP MiniDV High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

And you can buy inexpensive wide angle... more info

• Sony SR12 - just get it - it's perfect!
  I've had my SR12 for about a month now. It's a wonderful video camera with amazing HD picture quality.
  I just shot a friend's daughter's wedding (for free - for fun) and he said it looked like it was done by a professional. Some of the darker dance floor scenes were a bit troublesome (slightly grainy/out of focus at times - most of it was great!) - everything was shot on full automatic mode with no light settings/adjustments - I'm still learning what this camera can/can't do).
  It's still a great... more info
