Hi
This is one super-cool camera. I am a photographer and i carry this with me for its easy operation and the 120 gb hard drive (you can shoot on and on and on, on high quality). Obviously it wont give you the bokeh and the film look like the Canon 5D MII or any other HDSLR, but it gives you very high quality footage that can be taken online and touched up. I use fcp to capture in my mac. i recently shot a tv commercial with this, we used this because we needed a high quality portable no-nonsense camera. check it out and decide [..]
and folks, of course you can shoot your baby’s birthday with this.
Cheers
Madhav

Sony’s HDR-XR500 is truly a great handycam! The high definition videos that I get with this camera are awesome! I have uploaded quite a few of them to Youtube and they look great!
But I did have a problem with some of the videos I took. Once in a while, I have a problem with uploading one of my high definition videos to Youtube. What happens is I complete the upload process, but the video has a lot of break-up. But the audio still sounds great. I did contact Sony via their on-line tech support and they said that it was not a problem with the camera. They said that as long as I was able to view the videos from the camera and burn them to disc, it was a problem with Youtube and not the HDR-XR500. They also said that it was possible that when I copied the videos to my computer, my computer may have corrupted the videos. But that is probably not true. I tried to upload the same problem videos from my camera to Youtube using another computer and I had the same bad results. But I did get Sony’s Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro video editing software and used that to fix the problem videos. But, the amount of time it takes the Vegas Movie Studio 9 Platinum Pro to render a high definition video file is ridiculous! I edited a 10 minute video by adding music to the soundtrack, and it took the software nearly 5 hours to render a hi def .wmv file! Whoa!
But the camera itself is a very good camera. It has great low light capability and it has great anti-vibration capability that is very noticeable when the zoom is all the way out.
