Our experts share their impressions of Sony's HDR-SR10 high-definition hard drive camcorder.


Malcolm: Hi, my name's Malcolm.

Chris: And I'm Chris.

Malcolm: And we're here today to talk to you about the Sony HDR-SR10 hard drive camcorder. Chris, this is a very neat camcorder. It records in both standard-definition and high-definition right to a hard drive.

Chris: That's convenient.

Malcolm: Very much so.

Chris: No more tapes or SD cards.

Malcolm: No more tapes. So if you run out of tape and you're fumbling around for that extra tape, no longer — you can get all one clean shot on here.

Chris: That's great.

Malcolm: It also records up to 11 hours in high-definition and 27 hours in standard-definition.

Chris: That's great. Nice long movies.

Malcolm: Yeah, definitely. Take a look at it here. It's got a really cool touch panel control screen.

Chris: Feels good. Oh, I like that. So you just work everything right from here. No more looking on top of the camera or on the side to find the "pause" or zoom.

Malcolm: Exactly. Exactly.

Chris: Great.

Malcolm: That always creates that little bit of shake and camera movement. So you can avoid that and make it look like a pro.

Chris: Does this have optical image stabilization?

Malcolm: It does. It does. So it'll steady up if you have a little bit of hand shake going on. It'll steady that up and make it look very, very clean.

Chris: Great.

Malcolm: For sure. And you know, the other thing, too, with this camcorder, that's very convenient — let me see that for a moment — it's got a nice little docking station that it comes with. As you can see, it just slides right in there nice and easy. This connects to your computer or to your television. So you can watch it right on the TV right when you get home, or transfer the images to the computer.

Chris: I can't tell you how many movies I've taken and never looked at again.

Malcolm: Yep, I hear that a lot.

Chris: So that makes it really easy.

Malcolm: Makes it very convenient.

Chris: Beautiful. Well, there it is, the Sony HDR-SR10.
