Hi,
One of my buddies attends a college in Chicago for film. To be honest, I have no idea about any of this but he hands-down swears to all that he is worth to use the Sony HDR-SR12.
He tells me that it has the quality and settings of a professional movie camera, just with a lower color spectrum.
Some key benefits of the camcorder are;
-Full HD 1080P
-120GB HD
-Night Shot
-Detachable lenses
-Options to add many attachments like; lights, microphones, lenses, pods, handles, and many more.
Just Google it and you will have a ton of results
Like I said though, I honestly don't know much about this. Its highly recommended from my friend and I have used it before. Works great, easy to use, and produces an outstanding picture.
Hope I was helpful -
The loving cow;
