The 225-page
Handbook covers shooting with the Sony SR11, Sony SR12, and
Sony CX12 AVCHD camcorders.
The Handbook provides detailed information on how to shoot
to obtain maximum quality. This information overcomes the
seeming lack of manual controls on these camcorders. Both
novice and pro will find this information of value.
Many are new to editing AVCHD. The Handbook guides you
through editing using iMovie 06, iMovie 08, FCE, FCP 5.1.4,
Final Cut Pro 6.0.3, Premiere CS3, Media Composer 2.8,
EDIUS 4.61, PowerDirector 7 Ultra, Pinnacle Studio 11 and
12, and Vegas 8.0b.
The Sony SR/CX camcorder’s use a 1/3-inch EXMOR CMOS chip
that provides an excellent match to Sony’s EX1, EX3, Z7,
and S270. The Handbook provide a well illustrated chapter
on color balance and color correcting when shooting with
the SR/CX camcorders.
The Handbook also provides detailed information on
converting 1080i50/i60 to 1080p25/p30 – including 1080i60
to true 1080p24 – as well as converting 1080i50/i60 to
720p24, 720p25, 720p30, 720p50, and 720p60. Coverage of
720p is of special value to those who use 720p when
shooting with the EX1 and EX3.

I have two other really good books one on DV and one on HDV; so why did I buy Steve’s book? Because it fills in a lot of blank spaces for me.If you want a book that will increase your knowledge on the subject to a greater or lesser extent no matter who you are, then in my opinion Steve's book is a damn site better than many I've seen.P.S. I like my comfort zone (I think everyone does) but I know that to push myself out of it now and again is always rewarding.
