Digital camera reviews of Sony HDR-SR7 AVCHD 6.1MP 60GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom

Digital camera Review: Good cam tough format.
Summary: 4 Stars

I think the obvious has been stated.
The camera does a great job with good lighting. Low level lighting is an issue.
I knew that before I bought.
I also knew to have Sony Vegas primed for the AVCHD formatted files.

Playback is difficult on slower processors and editing via a laptop even with core2 duo processors is rough.

I hook the camera up to the TV via the mini hdmi/usb thumb drive via PS3/USB cable to PS3/SD DVD with AVCHD as BR on PS3.

The battery life has been ok for my usage. A backup will be necessary for vacation/long shoots.

Controls and interface are user friendly and the "easy" button is nice for instant settings and shoot.

I am very happy with this camera.
