 Best Harddrive Camcorder out there. July 29, 2007
Film Reviewer (Philadelphia, PA)
58 out of 62 found this review helpful
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 AVCHD systems. You will get excellent video with the SR7, but Sony's HDR-HC7 and Canon's HV20 will give you even better video quality. The Canon HV20 has one of the largest CCDs for a consumer camcorder, 1 1/2.7 -inch.
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'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 highest quality setting, shot the kids all weekend, and then transferred to IMOVIE for editing. Simple enough. From there, I created a .mac account the share the videos with family and used IWEB to mock up a password protected web page. Simply unbelievable. I had barely ever used the used the ILIFE suite of products and I had a working web page with outstanding quality hi-def video up and and running in 3 hours. I really don't see the need for a hi-def DVD burner (and player) at all, when I can share with family across the country via the web. In my own home, I think the next step will be an Apple TV, to sling the videos wirelessly to my HI-Def TV for viewing. If you are at all concerned about the video quality, or ease of working with AVCHD, don't be. I'm no camcorder expert, but friends and family are simply stunned by what I've created in a short period of time.
EXCELLENT CAMERA November 13, 2007

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 at home with just 1 lamp in the room the cam is terrific practically no graininess at all, it works great. Also I have never owned a cam with a docking station people make it seem so difficult to take this along.Well the docking station is just a very thin, small piece and no big deal to log around, i like the docking station alot. Hdd is the way to go no worries on changing tapes so you can concentrate on taking videos lots of videos.This to me is the perfect camera to own. the only thing is you have to go to menus to do almost everything, but the good news is the menus are so simple and everything is just so easy to get to.I hope this review is helpful and for those who are skeptic about the low lighting, this cam is a GEM!

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 light shots are good. I would highly recommend this HandyCam!
