Hi,

I'm looking to buy one of these Sony HDD camcorders HDR-XR520VE - 240GB, but don't want to pay around £1k for a new one.

Would also consider the Sony HandyCam HDR-XR500VE - 120 GB or Sony HandyCam HDR-SR12E - 120GB.

If any one has one of the above for sale, please drop me a PM with details such as age & condition of camcorder & most importantly, how much you want.

Cheers
Martin

I have had the Sr7e since release.
Your going to love these units, they dont like vibration though

The latest ones have 'SteadyShot technology' - according to Sony it dramatically reduces vibration.

Nothing will stop DT's so I might have to purchase a tripod

Got shot of mine because of this.
Still bad even with all its stablisation techniques & gizmo's
You can see the results here;

Great footage of your trip Mikey .

I can live with some vibration as I am not looking to direct a Hollywood blockbuster, just mainly holidays & trips away in the S

I didnt mean that exactly gents.

I meant they wont run in a car on trackdays and the like.

The HDD trips over and crashes with an error ever time you shock them.

This is regardless of whether the drop-sensor is on, or off.

And mine won't record to sticks, will the new ones?

Mine only took stills to stick/cards
