Sony HDR-CX12 reviewed

PC Advisor has posted a review of the Sony HDR-CX12 camcorder.

Recording to a SDHC memory card, the Sony HDR-CX12 HD sports a 1/3-inch imaging sensor - a rather large size for a consumer HD camcorder - and HDMI output. It records AVCHD video at a data rate of 16Mbit per second, which is good, but not at the top of the heap.

Overall, the shooting experience with the Sony HDR-CX12 HD 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 analogue 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.
