CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: Good-quality HD video; records in 5.1 Dolby surround sound; HDMI-out port; excellent touchscreen menu and GUI; professional manual adjustable ring; external mic and earpiece ports; can store both video and pictures on harddisk. 8.1
out of 10View score
The bad: Premium price; new AVC format lacks editing software; needs PC to archive footage when out of space; grainy pictures in low light; bulky.
The bottom line: A very attractive high-end consumer camcorder, this is easy to use out-of-the-box, offering great features even if video quality could be better.

Brillant Cam-Corder. Crap editing software support
Jan 6, 2007Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Large touch screen, fast start up. Very stable images. Great stills
Cons: Unbelivable that I can't edit videos on my Mac. No firewire. Built in mike picks up too much noise
Opinion:
I'd been considering buying a new Cam-Corder to replace my 8 year old one. The Sony caught my eye, got a sweet deal in Singapore. Started shooting videos and stills. Absolutely loved it. Very intuative, no need to read the manuals. The touch screen is brillant (though hard to clean). Imagine my disgust when I hooked it up to my Mac and could not import/copy/edit the videos. iPhoto had no problem with the stills. I hope iLife '07 supports AVCHD! Oh and the built in mike picks up too much external noise such as wind. I'd rate it a 9/10 but the lack of software kills it! 6.5-7.5/10 at most until Apple supports AVCHD
