In this review

Sony's Handycam HDR-SR11 is among the cream of the hard-drive AVCHD crop right now, and the same is true for its sister, the HDR-SR12, since the only differences between them are the size of their respective hard drives and their price tags. We tested an SR11, so read the full review here. The £680 SR11 sports a 60GB drive, while the £750 SR12 packs 120GB into its attractive HD-recording body.
