Just got the camera yesterday I got the camera yesterday and have spent about an hour with it. The first thing I did was look for a mini-hdmi cable locally, but ended up buying it from Amazon via another vendor. While online on Amazon, I also noticed the price went up on this model - good timing for me as I thought the opposite would happen after I bought it.
The first impressions of this camera is that it is tiny. It looks much bigger in the pictures, but this is a small camera that packs alot of surprises. ...

Works Like A Charm I'm a moderately experienced computer user, but knew little about camcorders. I held off for a year on buying one until I was certain the editing software could handle AVCHD, because my experience with tapes was simply that they never got to my PC for editing. Read all the reviews, and took the plunge on the Sony. I have an IMAC with the intel processors and upgraded to ILIFE 08. EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY. The camera is small, and takes excellent videos and stills. I set the video to the ...

Nice camcorder, but has an issue. I went through three of these camcorders before I gave up on this model. I did like the camera though for it's build quality, features and ergonomics....reasons for trying three, let me explain. When I tried the camera for the first time, I noticed that every 3 to 4 seconds you could hear a faint click-click sound each time the buffer emptied to the hard drive. Only problem was, it recorded the click-click or clunk sound however you perceive it. So when I viewed the video through the TV you cou...

Good camcorder best buying from Amazon.com I was trying to get a camcorder that can record both HD and SD quality video, and have microphone input, as well as LANC connector. I debated between this one and JVC's HD7. Finally brought this one.
There are good and bad of this camcorder. First, the good things about it:
it is compact in size can easily hold in one hand. It takes sharp pictures and vivid videos for indoor and outdoor. It produce good quality video even under low light. In normal outdoor light, its vide...

EXCELLENT CAMERA i have the hdrsr7 for a couple of weeks and im so very happy with the camera. Im writing this mainly to talk about the low light on the hdrsr7. I have read reviews saying the camera is terrible in low light. i guess they must have a difective model because this is the best low light camera i have owned. people make it seem that you cant even go out at night and film, well I enjoy taking video of the city at night and this camera is absolutly wonderful, It performs wonderfully in low light, and a...

Excellent All Around I was a little concerned about the software issues, but upon connecting the camera to my MAC, iMovie and iPhoto is able to import directly from the camera without installing a thing. It just works! I didn't install any of the Sony software that came with the camera. Looks like software issues are Windows issues. Solution: switch to MAC! The video and stills are excellent quality. The touch screen is easy to use (and I have big fingers). Manual focus works great. Night Shot is fantastic! Low ligh...

Honest overall opinion I bought this camera after owning the Sony HDR-HC3, and the Canon HV10, and when I first saw the camera I was in love. Now that I've had the camcorder for over 1 month now, here's an honest review of the camcorder from a keeper's perspective:
Pros:
1. Excellent outdoor image, clarity and picture. The lines are crisp, everything green just jumps out at you, it does seem like you're shooting in HD and it shows when filming out in the sun with light.
2. Price. For a HD ...

Best Harddrive Camcorder out there. If you want a harddrive based camcorder, the SR7 is currently the best one out there. It has a large 1/2.9-inch CCD, has optical image stabilization (which is better than digital), and a 60gb harddrive. It uses AVCHD compression (which more editing programs are now available for).
If you are looking for the best camcorder as far as recording quality, you still have to go with a tape based unit utilizing HDV. The reason is that there is less compression on tape than on current AVC...

Great Camcorder, always ready to go and easy to use!!! 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 pa...

Not as perfect for the casual "press and go" user as I thought I don't think this is a bad cam by any means, but I am going to note the annoyances I found in my uses. Sort of the "FYI's" that I didn't find in the extensive research and review reading I did before purchasing this cam. I haven't tried any lower end cams to know how much "better" this one may be than other alternatives.
I spent extensive time trying to decide between this model, the SR7 and the CX7. With a few feature differences between the lines (viewfinder, on board USB, coup...
