    When it comes to the Hard Drive, that's all true, only if you jump with the hard drive. I just got done installing a 32 GB Sandisk Solid State Hardrive replacing the SR11's Toshiba 60 GB. I thought the installation was a success until I learned the camera recognizes the drive but it will not write to it even after a format. Even thou that fact flat out sucked (money spent and enthusiasm put out) it allowed me to come across one interesting fact that makes the SR11 & SR12 completely jump-able. Here's the fact: The hard drive does not need to be in the camera for the camera to function. When the hard drive is removed by removing the Zif cable but still having the other end of the zif cable attached to the motherboard, the Camera will turn on and it will allow recording and playback after a simple fix. When you turn the camera back on your greated with 2 errors. The first error is a flashing 'E:31:00' that doesn't inhabit the camera functions any, it's just a little bit annoying seeing a flashing error code kind of in the top right. The second error is a flashing something in the dead center of the screen that prohibits the record process from taking place. This error only comes about because in the System Menu 'Movie Media Set' the option is Hard Drive. If you change this to 'HD MEMORY STICK'. (Keep in mind this requires the use of Sony's memory stick.) you'll find in the Record Movie Mode that you now have the ability to record and playback. The flashing E:31:00 error is still there but it does nothing more than flash. For those that say the SR11 & SR12 is not a jumpable camera, it totally is once the hard drive is removed from the equation. I will mention I tried completely removing the Zif cable ( hard drive and mother board) and this seems to be the sensor to completely make the camera unusable. But leaving the cable attached to the Mother Board is 'O tay'. If anyone's interested, I'll try putting a video together showing the above. By the way, I now have a San Disk Solid State HardDrive 1.8" Zif 32 GB for sale -- sigh.
