'colours are warm and well saturated – reds particularly eye popping and skin tones bright and healthy looking – with detail and sound impressively clear when viewed back on a flat panel telly.'
'The lens is very similar to the HV30 with spectra coating (to reduce flare and ghosting), aspheric design, but adds a neutral density (ND) filter to improve performance in bright environments.'
'astonishing high definition detail and color reproduction'
'video doesn't look particularly great as a consequence.'
'menu is simple and easy'
'Not only is this camcorder exceptionally light and portable, it can also follow you down to the murky depths of the pool or ocean (or at least down to five feet).'
'We've complained before about Sony's touch-screen interface--that it's simply annoying on a large LCD and close to unusable on a small one such as the DCR-SR100's'
'it lacks the S-Video and headphone ports'
'Remembering full well what happened when Sony decided to sell DVD camcorders after Hitachi and Panasonic labored at it for years, I had a feeling of dejà vu all over again (credit goes to baseball-great Yogi Berra for that cool line).'
'The lack of manual controls however, may leave some video enthusiasts a bit frustrated.'
