I would suggest you should go for HDR-SR1 as it has more features with high definition video features with hard disk storage. DCR-SR100 is no more produced by Sony.
The DCR-SR100 is equipped with a 1/3” 3000K Advanced HAD CCD with a Primary Color Filter, with slightly less pixels than last year’s DCR-PC1000 and DCR-HC90. We don’t know what to think about this Primary Color Filter business, but it will probably improve things a bit, which would be a welcomed effect considering the testing results of the PC1000 and HC90. At the same time, this imager is also close to that of the DCR-DVD405 in scope. It will be interesting to see how all these cams compare.
Compared to other hard disk camcorders, such as the Panasonic SDR-S100 and the JVC GZ-MG70, the DCR-SR100 seems like it can hold its own quite well. While it lacks the three CCDs of the Panasonic, it has more pixels than the JVC and takes comparable stills with the best of ’em. Unfortunately, it lacks the S-Video and headphone ports of the Panasonic, but it includes analog inputs. For a hard disk camcorder, the DCR-SR100 is extremely large, compared to JVC’s Everios. This could be a double-edged sword, especially if you’re into portability; however, the DCR-SR100 has a handsome sturdy feel, in my opinion, making it perfect for handheld use. Stay tuned for testing of its actual video.
Despite that fact, I would insist not to buy because it is out of market now. Now, no new DCR-SR-100 camcorders are being produced by sony as of now.
