Sony DCR-SR100 First Impressions
CamcorderInfo.com has posted their first impressions of the new Sony DCR-SR100 hard disk based camcorder. This is Sony’s first entry into the hard drive based camcorder space and really the first major competitor to JVC’s Everio lineup. While having a hard drive inside a camcorder has proven to be a great combination – the video image quality of the JVC camcorders have been a bit lacking. The new Sony camcorder looks to address these issues and here are the early results from CamcorderInfo.com:
The quality specs point to the Sony possibly beating the JVC high end Everios in performance, however we’ll have to see how the test results look. Lastly, the biggest problem with hard drive camcorders is where you put your video once you’ve filled up the hard drive. JVCs has solved this problem with a direct to DVD burner, and it might be the critical piece in the hard drive camcorder puzzle that will shuttle the format forward. Sony doesn’t have that same support, but, as a big DVD company it doesn’t seem that far away.
