Pros + very sharp under good lighting
+ Many manual controls
+ Adjustable ISO modi
+ USB memory stick can be connected directly for archiving purposes
Cons - lowlight
- no manual aperture control
- Automatic mode
- Image stabilisation
- vertical resolution in 60i mode
- handling
- wide angle
- 60Hz modi only
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 don´t want to shoot in the dark will be satistied with good image quality for a good price.
