Macworld's Sony HDR-CX12 Coverage

  • Sony HDR-CX12 The Sony HDR-CX12 has so much potential—great image quality, manual control, and great extras—that are marred by serious shortfalls—camera dock requirement, lack of external audio in, and no progressive modes. If you can get over these, you’ll enjoy the HDR-CX12.
