This is a great little camcorder. You can set it to SD or HD mode. This is a major benefit when you need to record a video for the web is standard definition. HD footage takes a very long time to render. Points to consider. All digital camcorders suck in low light--you get a grainy picture. Also, digital camcorders perform very poorly in action shots where there is fast movement. I record videos for business, so this camcorder is perfect. Because it records straight to its onboard hard-drive, I can drag-and-drop the clip(s) directly to my desktop and edit them straightaway.

The Sony SR11 is a great camcorder. I am not going to get into extreme detail here talking about all of the little specs and other things because I don't have time. The camcorder has awesome quality/clarity. The colors are vibrant and the sound is amazing. It sounds like surround sound when I am watching it. I upload a ton of my videos on YouTube and all come up as full HD even when I record in standard to reduce file size. The cam is so clear that the FULL HD isn't even needed. When I was purchasing this camera, I did extensive research and it definitely paid off. The reason I titled my review as "MY PRICE" is because I bought the camera for around 715 dollars. Now it has doubled, which seems pretty ridiculous. If you can afford the cam, I would definitely get it if it seems like what you want. The 60GB is a lot of room and I am not even close to filling that up. But, if you use your camcorder every day for all HD recording and don't want to delete things, get the SR12 which has double the memory. The remote control that it comes with is also very handy when doing vlogs or using a tripod. The interface is very easy to use and you will get used to it in no time. I have noticed that in low light it can get a little grainy, but that comes with practically all cams. With the cam, I bought the NPF100 battery, which is awesome. The battery that comes with it lasts about an hour and a half, but this lasts about 3 hours+! I recommend getting that.- haha Overall, the camcorder is great and I recommend it to anyone. Over time, I have realized that technology is always changing, and better and newer things come out every day. The Sony SR11 beats time, and is a purchase that you won't regret. - 9 out of 10
