Review: "The Sony DCR-SR100 looks completely different than the JVC GZ-MG505 even though both have 30GB HDDs. This size drive holds seven hours of MPEG2 DVD-level video, a simply incredible amount that puts any tape- or disc-based camcorder to shame. There are issues dealing with all the info on the drive but we'll get into that in a moment.
It's pretty simple - if you want to take the HDD camcorder plunge this is the one to buy - even though were problems with color accuracy. Sony is the dominant player in the camcorder world for a reason - it knows how to build high-quality, easy-to-use home video makers. And this is all the vast majority of buyers want."
