Pros - cheapest shoulder mounted HD camcorder to date
-lots of connection options
 
Cons - somewhat outdated technique
- almost no manual control elements
- no XLR
 
Conclusion For training purposes the HD1000 is not very suitable, since it isn`t operated in the same way as pro-cams.For a professional handling you`ll need many control elements on the camera body, and those are lacking on the HD1000.But compared with other current top consumer cams, many things actually can be controlled manually, a fact that might make this camera interesting to some buyers.If Sony had included the chips and the display used on the SR11/12, many more customers might have taken interest in this model, not least due to the manual shutter control.But now what you`ll get is middle-rate (but not bad!) image quality in a price range where not many cameras are to be found.Those looking for an cheap shoulder cam -- even if it`s only to look more professional to customers -- will not find anything less expensive in HD.
