Sony HDR-SR12 Reviews

CamcorderInfo reviews the Sony HDR-SR12 and writes;

“So what’s our verdict for the Sony HDR-SR12? We feel like the upgrades to the LCD and the addition of Face Recogition and the Cam Control dial are good. The full 1920 x 1080 capture and output is great. These and a few other notable improvement make it a worthy successor to the Sony HDR-SR7.”
