Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 Digital Camcorder - 2.7" LCD - CMOS - SD

Best Camera In Town

Strengths: Everything about the camera is strenth...

Weakness: NO USB on the camera, uses mini HDMI vs Full HDMI

I would recommand this camera. It's the best HI-DEF camera you can buy.. I did full 2 month research before buying this camera. I considered Cannon and JVC... but choose this one because it's truly the best.

Sony HDR-SR7

Strengths: Hi-Def, HDD, Being Sony, Compactness, Hi-Res Still Images

Weakness: Editing

I bought this camcorder hoping there will be good softwares for editing AVCHD codec format. But there is still not one yet. You have to write the videos directly to the medias. This can be annoying. But camcorder features are good except that you cannot capture still images during playback and you can capture only three during recording.

HDR-SR7 is Simply Stunning

Strengths: Lightweight, gorgeous photo and video, HDMI output, surround sound, shoots widescreen format photos, raw HD files play natively on Playstation 3, touch screen LCD, HDD or Memory Stick recording.

Weakness: Price is a little steep compared to its smaller sibling (SR5), but if you really want a single unit that does SD video, HD video and high quality still photos, it's worth the price.

Let me start by saying that I am an electronics geek. I love gadgets, I build my own PCs and I stay up on all the latest gadgetry and technologies. So this was not a spur of the moment decision for me. I did months of research, reading, trips to stores to hold cameras, and I built lists of pros and cons before settling on a model to buy. I had never had much use for a video camera until this year...

HDR-SR7

Strengths: Has view finder. Records in HD or Standard or high standard mode. Can recall movies by date ot face recognition. 6MP still oictures.

Weakness: User manuel not included.

This camera clearly has the best features of any available at this time. It has a viewfinder so you don't have to worry about bright conditions to see what you are recording.You can recall movies or scenes by date or face recognition Still picture resolution is better than almost any other camcorder. The only draw back is that a user manual is not included. For this kind of price it should be...

Great picture - isn't that what its about anyway?

Strengths: Best picture on the market for this price, Capture image while recording video, Good interface, surprisingly compact, crystal clear LCD, hard drive recording

Weakness: Flash is too bright, No video record directly to media card, No HDMI cable included, Lack of video editing software for this format, My man hands on the touch screen

Key things you need to know about this camera to make it work for you. 1. Proper lighting and a lot of it (balanced of course). If you don't have good lighting your video/photos WILL BE grainy. 2. Out of the box, the video is set for a lower bit-rate.. up it to the XP mode. (15Mbps) 3. Don't bother with the 100GB camera - this will give you way more than you need. My guess is that if you are...

Review about HDR-SR7

Strengths: Full HD res X.V Colour

Weakness: The FH100 battery(u have to buy it extra) is too big.The supplied battery is just right in size but lasts too little and you have to recharge all the time

This is an awesome videocamera. When in X.P mode and with X.V Colour activated,it is a viewing experience you have not seen anywhere before. You have to have a FULL HD TV to enjoy it as it deserves to be, and do buy that mini HDMI cable, it provides much better picture than component or (of course) S-Video!! You can edit the footage using the camera options, will take some time but no need for...

Sony HDR-SR7 HD 60GB Camcorder

Strengths: - Incredible HD video quality - Space for 7 hours of highest quality High Def video - Nice 6.1MP digital still camera - Ergonomically friendly and light weight. - Cradle for convenient hookup

Weakness: - No HDMI cable included - Battery lasts for approx 2 hours.....(I guess its not so bad)

Overall this camcorder looks very sharp both cosmetically and technologically. I have an HDTV and have never gone back to Standard TV. With the addition of this HD camcorder, I now can enjoy my home videos as they should be presented.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR7

Strengths: Large hard drive eliminates need to change tapes/dvds. Great HD video quality. Compact. Lightweight. Easy on the eyes. Touch screen control eliminates hard button clutter.

Weakness: Touch control doesn't register sometimes. Stability control not as good as I had hoped. Lack of USB port on the unit itself (on dock). Still image quality is decent but not true 6.1MP.

Overall the HDR-SR7 is a very good HD camcorder. It's got a good feature set and is easy to use. It's weight and size is perfect since its not too heavy nor does it feel like flimsy plastic. The battery lasts only about an hour but an extended battery will fix that problem. The included software is very complete but performs slowly and crashes needlessly.

HDR-SR7: Another GREAT piece of hardware from SONY

Strengths: Stunning HD quality video, Ease of Use, Reasonable Price

Weakness: Limited software support on PC side

This is my first HD camcorder which I purchased recently at a very GOOD price online. It is very light piece of hardware that will not cause you any wrist pain while carrying around. The quality of the video and stills is stunning. Outdoor stills and video is exceptional. However, indoor video under normal lighting is average for a digital HD camcorder. The touch screen is easy to use. Manual...
