Good sturdy leather case for storing your MP3 player. However if you have anything other than an Ipod you will need to take it out of the case to actually operate it. It's difficult to get the buttons to function through the openings when the player is a different brand. Other than that its good quality leather and an easy snap (magnetic) closure.

This HDD camera is outstanding and wonderful when you are recording moments in your life. I have had this camera for over a year and used it to film two conventions and other events. I think this camera films beautifully, it is the converting that can drive you crazy. The software that comes with this camera stinks and you will end up buying other software to convert the footage you recorded. I decided to buy AVSmedia, which converts my footage to anything version I ask it to (MPEG, MPEG4, AVI, etc.) Panasonic is not to be fully blamed, though they could have included better software. Otherwise, you will love this camera to death!

This camcorder is great. It replaces a SD JVC camcorder that died; fortunately just prior to my first child being born. So I did my due diligence and finally chose the SR11 from Sony. The SR12 is identically spec'd but with a larger hard drive, thus more capacity. I went with the SR11 as even on the highest HD setting, I would have to change the battery several times before the hard drive would fill up. For me I have found that decision to hold up well and I come nowhere close to filling up the 60GB hard drive between recordings. I saved a few pennies vs the SR12 and applied that to getting an extended capacity battery. Much better money spent IMO. The batteries on these cams are getting better but you still need an extended pack to record a long session. What good is the extra capacity if you don't have the battery life? The HD is not a limiting factor for how much you can record, its the battery life. SO for a similar amount of money as an SR12 I have an SR11 that can actually record

I bought this over other brands because it was small and compact, yet easyto use. I looked at the Sony equivilant, and the only difference I found was price, and looks. Also sony still uses a different memory card oppose to SD. Sony was a few hundred dollars more, and it was bulky, too big to put in pocket or purse. On the other hand, JVC Everio is compact and easy to use.

As the title states, I feel this is about the best you can expect from a consumer level camera on the market today.
I have been experimenting and putting it through it's paces for a month now, and am pretty familiar with it's capabilities and quality. I am currently on my family's second vacation trip of the year and and have taken some footage ranging from indoor/outdoor pet shots, the mountains and waterfalls of western Colorado, night-time 4th of July fireworks, indoor, well-lit cousin/family members and an indoor shot of mom covering a chocolate cake with meringue icing. Lots of good, typical, casual-user type footage.
With the recent purchase of a mini HDMI to standard HDMI cable, I was finally able to view all of this footage on a 45" Sony BRAVIA LCD TV in all of it's HD glory. Before, I had been getting by with the AV/Component cables and there is a night and day difference between those and the digital signal of HDMI.
A good part of my footage was shot in the lowest quality possible.

I've recorded probably just 10 hours with the camera, and I am pleased with my purchase of this camera. My wife and I were expecting our first baby (who was born 7/9/08), and I had done quite a bit of research before deciding to but this particular model. I "test drove" several different brands and models by JVC, and decided that the Everio was the route I wanted to go. The good things about this camera that I've noticed thus far are the battery life, the massive 60 GB hard drive, the built-in light, the size, and definitely the price. There are points that I would like to warn folks about. The video and audio recording quality is decent, but not exceptional. If you are looking for a camera based upon purely video and audio quality, you might want to look at something else. The video files are shot with proprietary files with a .MOD extension. Although file extensions and video files are relatively simple to convert, you can't just drag and drop the .MOD files in most applications.

Two months ago, I sprang for this much pricier camcorder than I normally would have because we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday with our first vacation to Europe in 25 years. With the larger hard drive on this camera, it meant I didn't have to drag my laptop along for transferring the video.
In the middle of the trip, I tried to replay the video I had just taken, and I got a screen that read, "HDD format error." Nothing had happened to the camera -- I didn't drop it, there were no extremes of temperature, nothing knocked it. Mistakenly thinking that Sony was a stand-up company and would take care of this, I put the camera away for the rest of the trip and called Sony when I got home.
The news was not good. Sony reports that its warranty covers repairing the camera "to factory standards" but will not even attempt to recover the video.
Instead, Sony's customer relations recommended I try a third party hard drive recovery service. If all of the video is recovered, I will pay

This was great for our recent vacation. The size is so convenient. We were also interested in automatic adjustment for the sun and it performed wonderfully. We have only used it for a short period but so far it is what we wanted.

It is a very light and small camcorder. It records for a long time. It records for 14 hours at the best quality. It looks cool. The external light is very useful. Video quality is good, not too great but very good. Three JVC software comes with this product, a DVD-CD authoring software a video editing software and a video-computer link software. They are all easy and fun to use. Don't worry about the still pictures. Get this and get a tiny camera to go with it. This camcorder is so small that you probably can fit this camcorder and a good camera in a small bag. I did it and it worked out fine. I used this camcorder to record a family vacation and I am pleased with the result.

I fell in love with this camcorder after spending countless hours on the web, doing research and reading every single review I could find...
I've had it for about a month now and I'm still discovering new features and experimenting recording in different lighting conditions. I'm really impressed with the playback quality on my 22" LCD screen (1680x1050 max resolution) but it really screams on my 42" LCD @ full 1920x1080i, never fails to put a grin on my face! :D I'm new to HD video and being able to record every moment in HD is truly priceless! I originally wanted the SR-12 but decided I could live with the 60GB hard drive on the SR-11 and got a really good deal elsewhere so it was a no brainer. The battery that comes with the camera lasts up to 1.5 hours @ everything turned high which is OK! As a matter of fact, I just purchased the NPFH100 H Series Actiforce Hybrid InfoLithium Battery from Amazon, which supposedly gives you something like 5-7 hours of continuous recording time

I like the size of this camera and it is really simple to use. I feel challenged when using all the new electronics on the market nowadays, but find the camera really user friendly.

I'd like to start by saying first that I am amazed at the picture and video quality of this camera. If you're looking for professional results from a camcorder, this is the product for you. However, I'm one who prefers accessorizing products with accessories from the original manufacturer, taking advantage of the design/manufacturer "own" product knowledge base. Sony unfortunately makes it difficult. This camera uses AIS (Active Interface Shoe) technology; allowing the AIS accessories to connect to the camera's shoe without any additional wires or batteries. I thought this was an excellent idea until I tried to use an external microphone for distant subjects while also using a video light and found that it's not possible. What a sham! I did research this issue and have found many individuals with these same frustrations and so I contacted Sony directly to hear for myself that there is no AIS multi-accessory shoe adapter available and was disappointed to find out this is true. I

An excellent HD camcorder. Saves to DVD+RW or ProDUO (I use the 4 GB Sony). Pictures are crystal clear, and the 5.1 surround sound is excellent (sounds exactly as if you're outdoors). An excellent price, too! A great buy, IMO!

I love this camera!! It's very simple to use and has many features to support most video/photo adjustments the average person would want to make to take a great shot. My wife likes it and she's not particularly tech-savvy. I'm a software developer so I tend to do well with technology.
I was drawn to the camera because of the HDD digital storage and it seemed to be high quality when compared with others that I experimented with in it's class without being bulky, or having an awkward or complicated user interface. Once I discovered this unit at my favorite technology retail store, I did a lot of research on the device - its features and usability, and tried to find it's weaknesses from any professional review I could locate. I did all my searching on the Internet. What I found was that nearly all the reviews were raving when compared with others (it was a leader in major publishers). The weakness that was pointed out by only a few reviews was that it seems to have an ever so slight difficulty

This is my first camcorder and I selected this after a careful study of exisiting models across various brands like panasonic, jvc, canon. This was fitting my budget with lots of required specifications. I did go to nearest electronics shop and had a look at it before ordering it and comparing it other models. I used it extensively in my recent trip to smokies and it was fantastic. Lots of space..I need not bother about space. Four days of usage and I was hardly using 10 gb out of 60 gb. Clarity was good. Wish I could explore all the features of it. I would recommend this to any new comers into the camcorder world.

It is a good handy cam, however I was not satisfied with video resolution. But at this price you can't expect more then that. Camcorder had a problem with zoom in and out operation, there was some mechanical noise and it was getting recorder in video. So returned it. Got full refund from amazon instantly... no troubles at all, Thanks amazon!

It even makes poor quality mp3 sounds great when I hook it up to my living room speakers where there's no where for poorly encoded mp3s to hide, unlike on small headphones which have no range in frequency (highs & lows) you know? You can tweak the sound with the many EQ, bass settings and Digital Signal Processing (DSP)fields like Rock, Jazz etc. you'll freak. IT has Line-In Recording which is a huge plus for me.
The picture quality is equally amazing near HD quality. It is not for the faint of heart, only for true audiophiles providing freedom for music lovers. It's even a portable Digital Video recorder as it can record from the TV etc. It's a god send. It plays virtually all types of media files. No proprietary software needed (crappy I tunes). It is a little hefty but it isn't meant to be for those on the run as much. For that purpose, I suggest the little 2 or 4 gigs ones. This puppy I believe is for extended travel perhaps to watch a movie on when you are away and for the jukebox

I like this camera. I like the size and the feature set, but to my eye, the AVCHD video quality isn't quite there. It's good, but there is still some "star-stepping" visible around light and dark points, particularly in lower light. I'm comparing this to HDV video shot with my HDR-HC1 and I prefer the less compressed HDV video. That being said, I don't miss the video capture process I had to go through with HDV to get it onto the computer for editing, so I will keep this camera. FYI, for those of you looking for software that works with AVCHD, I've had great success with Sony Vegas Platinum. Whatever you do, don't buy Adobe Premier Elements - it doesn't support AVCHD and is very, very buggy.
Pro:
- Easy to load video to PC
- Good form factor; not as small as the Canon HF10, but small
- Nice big screen
- Viewfinder for those bright sunny days (HF10 does not have a viewfinder)
- Able to hold lots of video
Cons:
- Some compression artifacts visible in video
- Some skipping

Although this is a good price and good picture and has a large hard drive you cannot edit your movies which is why I bought the camera in the first place. Unfortunately we've had it for over a month before we discovered this. I am very disappointed.

This camera performs poorly in low light, as a matter of fact, when I used my 6 or 7 year old Sony TRV17 I could not tell a difference between the 2 pictures on my 50" Plazma TV. At least not for interior and low light video. Outside the picture was very bright and there was definetly a big difference between the two.
I returned this one and splurged for the SR11. You get a 60gig HD, 10MP digital stills, and just a huge difference in picture quality indoors and out. And with a 10MP still camera built in, I almost don't even need a digital.
The camera fits nicely in the palm of my hand, all the controls are convienently located.
The menu's can be a little confsing at first, but after a few minutes it becomes pretty easy to navigate around, and if you're not too tech saavy, there's always the "easy" button.
Oh also to save battery life and if you're recording in bright sunlight, the SR11 has a viewfinder which this model doesn't.
I guess I should be leaving this in the SR11 reviews pages,
