Digital camera reviews of Sony HDR-SR7 AVCHD 6.1MP 60GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom
Digital camera Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been a big Sony fan for years, especially in regards to digital cameras. This camcorder was a big disappointment though. I dont mind paying the extra bucks coz its Sony, and its HDD and HD but I expected the same Sony quality that I have seen in their digital still cameras. The indoor video quality on the HDR-SR7 is extremely poor. Even in HD the video is very grainy. I have an 8 month old baby so I am going to be doing lots of indoor videos for years to come so I want something that produces good quality indoor video. This is not it.Digital camera Review: Exactly what I was looking for!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this camera for about a month now and absolutely love it. The picture quality is amazing, and the night shot is great for low light/no light conditions. I definetly recommend a long life battery ($160 gets you over 5hrs of recording time).
If you are purchasing this for shooting with night shot, a secondary IR light is essential, the built in IR LED is effective close up, but loses visibility if your target is more than five feet away.
Only issue: lost about 5hrs of footage due to "disk format error". No idea what caused this, but after reformatting the hard drive the camera works fine.
Digital camera Review: Great Camcorder......But Don't buy it from Pavilion Electronics
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great camcorder. But we had a very bad experiance buying this item. As it was not in stock with amazon we bought it from pavilion electronics, 3 days later they canceled our order without stating any reason. We missed shoting a memorable event because of this pavilion Store.Digital camera Review: Great Camcorder

I sold my JVC GZ-MG505 and bought the Sony HDR-SL7. Even though the JVC was a 3CCD unit, the Sony beat it hands down for true color repoduction. The still shots with the Sony are super. The JVS stills could not even compair to my Fujifilm 2.1 The steady shot is exceptional. JVS DIS is junk. I was used to low light conditions causing a grainey-yellowish picture. The Sony is the best I have seen for any light condition. The Sony has a smooth slow motion function which is really cool to watch my cats "float" across the room.I could'nt be happier with the Sony. I have been shooting only SD. My friend has the same camera only with mini DV and he says that the HD played back on his Big HD TV is excellent. I expect the same results as both our cameras have the same CMOS and Lens.Digital camera Review: Stunning video detail

This Sony Handy cam has the best recorded picture I have seen. Even in low light it is able to focus and bring out colour. The zoom also remains crystal clear with no grain.The still photos are not as good which was a bit of a disapointment. On the whole a great bit of kit.
