Sweet camcorder... and I'll never have to...Strengths: No tapes or mini-DVD's; record onto hard drive! Many hours on the hard drive, even in HQ. Beautiful colors & resolution. Easy to delete and edit clips. Records to standard MPEG files. Weakness: No firewire output to computer (USB only; see below.) No headphone output. Included software easy, but not powerful. Comes with cheap composite video cable; premium S-video addn'l cost. I've sorely needed a camcorder for some time now, but I also wanted to avoid a future of buying and storing and fiddling with drawers full of tapes or mini-DVDs... so I looked into hard-drive camcorders. Reviews of the existing hard-drive camcorders out there were quite mixed, at best - problems with image quality, compression, adaptability to video editing software, etc. So I held on,...

Good image qualityStrengths: Light, easy to use, plenty of storage Weakness: No D-link, no option for "plain" stereo input sound. I do a lot of video editing and my main concern was the possibility to convert the MPEG file from the camcorder to a AVI file for better quality editing. In order to do that, I had to use a 3rd party software (ULEAD VIDEO STUDIO 10). I'd wished that Sony provided that option with his included Pixella Mixer software. I found that the quality of the video is very good, even in bad lighting...

Great CamcorderStrengths: No tapes, no rewinding, no finding a blank spot to record. Quick start up to shoot. Super easy indexing of scenes and selection (organizes by date!) Easy DVD creation with supplied software. Weakness: Not much in the way of manual controls. No external MIC plug. Not easy to adjust volume when playing back via the color monitor. I am very impressed with this camcorder. It is definitely easy to use and very convenient. This is a consumer camcorder, not a professional model and people need to keep that in mind when comparing the features and quality. That being said, the features and quality are way better than I would have expected for a consumer HDD model camcorder. The average “home movie” maker will be highly...

mpg files not compatible with Windows media playerStrengths: good picture quality, easy to use, light weight Weakness: loud background sound levels, like running water. Files recorded on the internal hdd do not play on windows media player 10. I was shocked to find out that on this otherwise nice camcorder, the mpg files created do not play in Windows Media Player v10. You can transfer the files to your computer just fine, and Windows Media Player will open and attempt to play them, but it plays very jerky, starts, stops, and crashes. I contacted Sony tech support and they said you should use the included (poor quality) software to...

Sony DCR-SR100Strengths: Compact, fairly intuitive to use and good picture. Weakness: Video output not compatible with windows media player or Adobe Premier Pro editing software. Why would you design a fairly high-end camera that isn't compatible with widely used and accepted software such as Adobe Premier Pro or Windows Media Player. I am returning the unit. The Sony engineers should rethink themselves before the obsolete themselves. It took me several days of troubleshooting before I realized it was an incompatibility issue, and not a hardware conflict on my machine....

sweet...very sweetStrengths: Hard drive, 5.1 digital sound, easy to set up and use. Light in your hand, well placed controls. Weakness: Very basic editing software, no D-link option. I'm impressed how light and easy to use. I wanted a hard drive camcorder and waited for one I thought would fit the bill. It has surpassed my expectations. It does look a bit like a small thermos but I have adjusted to that. It has incredible 5.1digital sound, I can hear birds in the background. The video quality is good. The stills are okay for 3 megapixel but I will use my digital SLR for that....

Intuitive, Easy to use with Professional Results!!Strengths: Easy to use and very intuitive. The 3 gig picture quality was very outstanding when viewing our first recordings on our tv. The One touch record was also a great feature. Weakness: None discovered yet. It could come with a stronger battery. My wife whom is not very tech savvy even was able to use this camera with minor instructions from me. The touch screen interface was designed very thoughtfully. VERY easy to navigate and review captured footage and change settings. Finger marks are easily left on the screen ;( The size of the camera was pleasantly small as well. The perfect size for moving around with it and the weight was also a...

Great camcorder. Good images but hefty priceStrengths: very easy to set up and use. Hard drive recording, well placed controls and compact/light to hold and carry. Quick on and off for rapid recording Weakness: no option for stereo input sound, 5.1 only. expensive compared with others I was excited to finally receive my camcorder. I had spent months exploring different types and settled on this one based on its features and other ratings. The direct to hard drive recording sparked my interest most. Not to have to buy discs and have a spare around was a major plus. The image quality, ease of set up out of the box and ease of use with intuitive controls all have lived up to my...

Beyond ExpectationsStrengths: Picture quality, hard disk drive recording, excellent sound quality and beautiful still pictures Weakness: none I have had this camera for about a month now. This is my third camcorder in about ten years. All the others were Sony camcorders also. This one produces excellent pictures. Grain is nonexistent and color accuracy is wonderful. The on screen commands and the touch screen are a breeze to use. Sound quality is excellent. Low light shooting and even no light shooting are great. The weight of the...

Sony DCR-SR100
We don’t get very excited by DVD camcorders, which tend to record mediocre-looking video (and very little of it) straight to optical media. But a camcorder with a 30GB hard drive and a software package that allows one-touch DVD creation gets our attention. Sony’s $1,000 DCR-SR100 stores over seven hours of MPEG-2 video on its hard drive with simulated surround sound. The performance sometimes... TopAdvertisement

One Word.....AWESOME!!!!
Strengths: Hard Drive, Ease of Use, No Tapes!!!
Weakness: Battery could be stronger, BE CAREFUL, GENERIC SPARES MAY NOT WORK!!
The last camcorder my family purchased was an analog Sony, probably close to 10 years ago. That being the case we expected anything to be higher quality, but were a little concerned after reading the reviews about how Mini DV was still the best quality digital available. That plus the price of the DCR-SR100 made us a little hesitant on the purchase, especially with the promise of improved...
