(More customer reviews)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.
