Great Camcorder, always ready to go and easy to use!!! July 5, 2007
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I had the Sony hdr-sr1 for about a month before sending it back to get the sr7. The sr1 had a great picture, but for some reason the sr7 is a little better. I liked the bigger screen on the sr1 and the use of a regular hdmi wire for ease of use. The sr7 has hdmi but you need a mini to regular hdmi wire or adapter which doesn't have many uses that I know of. This camcorder is very light and easy to use. There is plenty of hard drive space to last thru your longest vacation and get the birthday party when you get back. The question is will you have enough battery to get it all. Bottom line...The mini hdmi and short standard battery are the only things keeping me from giving it a perfect score. Other than those two things, I couldn't be happier. It helps to have a blu-ray player as that is how you can play your hd video once on dvd. You can get about 45 min. worth of hd video, in its native format of AVCHD, on a regular DVD. You'll get more on a recordable blu-ray disk. You can put video back on the camcorder even after you have taken it off to use the camcorder as a means to play back in HD. If you like to edit your video, make sure your software can handle AVCHD. I also purchased a Sony tripod that plugs into the camcorder
 Just perfect with your PS3 June 28, 2007

This is by far best quality I have seen in an HD cam. The default HD setting is set at SP which is the middle of the road, but the quality is already awesome. When I changed to XP, that was when my mouth dropped when viewing back the test footage on my 60 inch SXRD HDTV.
The coolest feature is to be able to play back AVCHD files natively on the PS3. All you have to do is first is to connect the camera to your PC and get the mts file and put it on a USB thumb drive. Be sure to create a folder on your USB thumb drive called VIDEO and put your mts files there for PS3 to recognize. Next plug it into the PS3 and you will see the most stunning footage ever made by a consumer camcorder.
It has HDMI out but it is a mini-HDMI so I have to buy a wire that is mini-HDMI to regular HDMI.
The cam is so small you can almost hold it in your palm. It has a very expensive look to it (unlike the 40G version HDR-SR5 with silver grills and very ugly looking, IMO)
I am very happy with the SR7. With 60G on board and no silly mess with conventional tapes to worry about. This is a blessing.
I didn't think I would buy a SONY June 24, 2007

I just bought the camcorder from Amazon for my honeymoon trip next august
and it's so cool....I love it even though its expensive but worth it because it will
live longer with you due to its new technology ... usually I am not satisfied with Sony products
they make the best ideas for gadgets
but they dont make them perfect, but I liked this one ...
you should buy a big battery with this one if you want to have more free time
and what I did is bought a charger coz if you charge it in the camcorder
it will take all day but with the charger it will take 4 hours or less depending on the size
of the battery...also try to get the wide angel lens and the tele lens if you want to take
nice shots ...
Upsides: small, elegant, manual focus, high quality still images, HD or SD recording modes, HDMI output ready for hd TVs
Downsides: price, batteries is 90 mins only, lack of mini HDMI cable, indoor shots is poor even in HD, in HD recording mode you only
can see the clips in the camera, PC, and a blue-ray hd dvd players
