Great if you don't want to record for over 20 minutes!

When I first got this camera, I loved it! After about a year and a half, however, I have a BIG issue. After about 20 minutes of use (starting and stopping recording), the autofocus quits working. Example, I can record the first period of my son's hockey game.

Sony HDR-SR8E Camcorder

Sony has been leading the pack in the rapidly growing high-definition camcorder market, particularly in Europe. The company was the first to bring HDV to the UK, the first to bring HDV down to the £1,000 price point, and the first to launch products using the MPEG-4-based AVCHD format.

Sony HDR-SR8 review

Having spearheaded the high-definition video revolution with HDV, Sony is again pushing the technological frontier with its support for AVCHD, the format that uses a very efficient MPEG4 compression system to cram huge amounts of high-quality pictures and sounds into very small spaces.

Great handling and ergonomics; Lots of good features and connectivity; HD clips are excellent in good light

Manual control can be fiddly; Mic suffers from wind noise; CMOS creates lower light issues; Expensive

just bought one and the colour is vibrant and outstanding. Could be a bit better under low light, but kills the jvc models. I know because i sell cameras

For a HD cam i think this is one of the best, been using it for 2 years now and never once has it dissapointed me, when i got it though it said 5-10 hour barrety life, but that requires that you upgrade your battery the standard one is not that great, maybe you'll get 3hours out of it depending on...

HD, 5.1 surround Sound..; easy to use menu

Failed after 2 months

Yes a good camera as far as picture quality etc. is concerned BUT the hard drive has become disconnected after only two months, (apparently a common problem) losing a lot of valuable work and now no-one at Sony can tell me if the camera is eligible for warranty, having been bought in Hong Kong.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR8

This review is for the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 , however, it is also applicable to the Sony Handycam HDR-SR8 which differs only in price, the capacity of its hard-disk and in a cosmetic detail or two.

Plenty of output and input options; Easy to hold steady; Sharp and vivid video

..; but you'll need an HD TV and Blu-ray/PS3 to truly get the best; Manual settings require diving through touchscreen menus; Mini-HDMI cable not included -- screams of penny pinching
