Cons
Conclusion Compared to the SR11 this cheaper modell has a smaller hard disk, no control ring, a less sharp display, no view-finder a a smaller image sensor resulting in worse lowlight pictures.Many users will prefer paying additional 300 EuroMovie makers will look for manual aperture-control - which is only to be found in competing models.Holiday videomakers who trust automatic controls and donīt want to shoot in the dark will be satistied with good image quality for a good price.for now, the low-light image quality rules superior in the sub 1000 Euro camcorder class.The great dynamic range when using the factory settings as well as its abandonment of moving part makes this cam interesting for independent filmmakers.On the other hand there are some features missing, there is no histogram, no zebra, no exposure time control, no sharpness helper and no image adjustment.for now, the low-light image quality rules superior in the sub 1000 Euro camcorder class.The great dynamic range when using the factory settings as well as its abandonment of moving part makes this cam interesting for independent filmmakers.On the other hand there are some features missing, there is no histogram, no zebra, no exposure time control, no sharpness helper and no image adjustment.Conclusion
