Sony HDR-SR12 HD Camcorder

Trying to keep faces in focus on autofocus camcorders can be a challenge. Unless, that is, you happen to have the Sony HDR-SR12 HD Camcorder ($1400). Along with the ability to record video in 1080p, a 120GB internal drive, 10.2 megapixel still image capture, a 12X optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens, and a slew of other features, the SR12 features advanced face recognition, which can keep up to eight faces in focus, and performs exposure and white balance adjustments automatically — making sure the subjects of your videos end up the stars.
