Sony DCR SR100

PCMag reviewed the Sony DCR-SR100 last month and writes, “In the action clip, the DCR-SR100 did a much better job than the GZ-MG77U did in quickly locking into autofocus. There was a bit of artifacting, especially on the signs we use in our tests. On the EIA resolution chart, the DCR-SR100 scored a decent 425 average lines of resolution, although miniDV camcorders have scored better. When set to its highest-quality mode, the DCR-SR100 can shoot 440 minutes of video. I found it quite easy to import the .MPG files into the Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 program for editing. … The DCR-SR100’s daylight image had little noise, but the flash test shot displayed more colored noise. Both test shots had decent colors that were fairly accurate and vibrant. I saw very little fringing, but both shots were soft throughout the image. Overall, the exposure of both the flash and the daylight images was decent. I found the flash coverage to be quite good.”
