User Reviews about Sony HDR-XR100 80 GB HDD High Definition Camcorder (Silver)

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3AVY5FVLL2BJK If you are looking for a camera that shoots great HD outside, then you have found the camera. The quality of shooting outdoors is very good. But when you go indoors and you do not have a lot of light coming in from the windows then the camera will start picking up noise. What I did is pick up a headband flash light and took the band around the camera to attach the light. Adding that extra light has help. You can change some gain and aperture settings. But it isn't enough like pro camera can do. I do love the small size of the camera. -- Great camera outdoors but noisy quality indoors

Very nice camcorder. Any video or picture with plenty of light will look incredible. The only down side of it is that anything at night or with poor light the images will be dark. Once again with plenty of light the pictures looks great. -- Very Nice

Last time I buy sony handycam. This only ports to microsoft windows using provided software and not portable to other formats. Even worse only still photos using memory stick will transfer to Mac. So don't do as I did and record your entire ski vacation to find out you can not transfer to a MAC and use with Final Cut Pro.

Update; Turns out this little handy cam will transfer to final cut pro on the mac. So I increased the Rating to 4 start. There may be other ways to transfer. I opened iMovie first. Then connected handycam to computer. Another window popped up to port photos so i closed this window and kept imovies opened. Then imported to Imovies. After transfer complete it is easy task to drag and drop clips from iMovie to Final Cut Pro. -- changed title to portable to final cut
