Sony HDR-CX12 review

Macworld has a review of the Sony HDR-CX12 camcorder.

Overall, the shooting experience with the HDR-CX12 is quite comfortable. For manual adjustments as you shoot, Sony thoughtfully included a great control wheel. Generally speaking, it’s much faster and more natural to use an analog wheel than it is to fiddle a little joystick or click through menus using buttons when you want to manually adjust focus, zoom, exposure, shutter speed, and so on. The intuitive controls make it much easier to shoot in challenging situations or when you want to do more than just capture basic home movies.

Pros
Excellent image quality; comfortable and easy to use; works with iMovie ’09 without a hitch; cool Night Shot and super slow motion shooting modes; good photo stills.
Cons
External mike input available only through Active Interface Shoe; no headphone jack; requires cumbersome docking base to connect to Mac; no progressive video mode.
