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.

Sony HDR-XR500 120GB HDD High Def Camcorder w/12 MP & 12x Optical Zoom Overview
The high-end, HDR-XR500 120GB High Definition Handycam Camcorder, from Sony packs true 1920 x 1080 HD recording, hybrid capture options, excellent optics, and more into a consumer priced camera. You'll be hard pressed to run out of recording space with a 120GB HDD that captures nearly 48 hours of HD footage and the option to store additional video and stills to Memory Stick PRO Duo media.
Sony gives you the tools to create beautiful memories, whether you're recording your child's play or a family vacation. The G Lens and back-illuminated 1/2.88" ClearVid Exmor R CMOS sensor work together to create clean, brilliant images. Other features, like the generous 3.2" LCD display, Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization, Face Detection and Smile Shutter give you an added edge.
Hybrid Recording to HDD or Memory Stick Duo Media
Record nearly 48 hours of true, 1920 x 1080 HD video and 4MP stills to the 120GB HDD, in the XR500. You can also record to optional Memory Stick PRO Duo media, which offers easy transfer of video and stills to compatible computers and printers. And, in the event that you drop the camera, Sony's "HDD Smart Protection" prevents recorded video and stills from being lost.
1/2.88" ClearVid Exmor R CMOS Sensor with Back-Illumination
Sony's 1/2.88" Exmor R CMOS sensor captures true 1920 x 1080 HD 6MP video and 12.1MP digital stills at 4x the density of HD resolution, giving you cleaner, more detailed images. The back-illuminated sensor improves image quality, especially when shooting in low-light situations by gathering as much light as possible and increasing sensitivity. The BIONZ Image Processor helps reduce noise and provides for faster image processing and data compression.
