Sony Handycam HDR-TG1
More Sony reviews , RRP: AU$1599.00
Description:
Tall and narrow, this high-def camcorder from Sony achieves its proportions thanks to its recording medium: removable Memory Sticks. Its shape and price means it does sacrifice offerings present in most of the Sony HD range though, like optical image stabilisation, hotshoe and jacks for microphone and headphone.

Sony Handycam DCR-SR65

I just bought the HDR-TG1, great design and user interface, poor low light still and video
Pros: great design, user interface, both controls and screen interfaces are breeze, no need to read thru the manual, great Video quality but I dont think the HD quality matches what u see on HD TV broadcasts.
The size is the biggest plus, u can take it any where in yr front pant pocket.
Cons: Poor still camera, horrible low light pictures, ok bright light pictures.
No HDMI cable supplied. Sony gave a component cable which is just 3 Feet, what was Sony thinking, the cable doesnt even come across the side of my 65 inches HD TV... I landed up buying a component switch.
The AVCHD format is pain in the neck, I havent used it much but the software supplied is not very user freindly.

Excellent point and shoot... a no brainer and very easy to use. A fun little camera to use at home or on the beach..
Pros: Small, quick startup, excellent video and audio for the user wanting to take home and travel videos.
Cons: Night time recording very poor, no software included to edit HD video, Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo or PRO Duo Mark2 media cards only.. No carry case included.

Sony HDR-TG1 is excellent small very robust camcorder with true to life sound recording. Ideal for recording in nature, bush or on travels.
Pros: Ease to operate, excellent video quality, portable camcorder.
Cons: Video editing of AVCHD format is still not ease and software Ulead and Sony somewhat expensive.
