Motorsports HERO Wide.
As you all know by now I broke my
Sony HDR-TG1 two weeks ago after dropping it onto the concrete garage floor.
During my last visit in New York City, I acquired a new “movie-toy” to film some of my favorite activities as motorbike riding.

I bought the new Sony HDR-TG1 two months ago. I have been using it with great pleasure and satisfactions. You can read: My first impressions.
A lot of people have asked me if I use the HDR-TG1 with my mac. My answer is simply: YES.
The HDR-TG1 records HD video in the AVCHD compressed format. It is a highly compressed format, so one problem is that it produces a ‘“grainy” result when using the camera in low-light.
You need an Intel-based Mac because only a Mac with an Intel processer that use Leopard supports AVCHD.
To transfer and edit the video files, Sony offers with the camcorder a software: Picture Motion Browser Software; however, the sofware does not work with Mac OS X (Only on PC).
Don’t Worry though because Apple provides two great simple and easy applications with Mac OS X: iMovie’08 and iPhoto’08.

I bought the Sony HDR-TG1 (TG3 in Europe). My first impression being that it is not just small; it is pretty, sleek and easy to use. Its body made with pure Titanium and Premium Hard Coating, makes it resistant to scratches and fingerprints. The HDR-TG1 is relatively clutter-free with just one record button and a zoom ring. Most of the menu options are conveniently found on the 2.7 inch LCD touch screen.
