I purchased the Sony HDR-SR7 about a year ago. I use it on vacation and for underwater video. I love the HD quality video, the easy to use software for uploading and conversion to HD movies. I would recommend the camera to anyone wanting high quality video and still shot capability in one camera. I would recommend getiting a wide angle lens attachment makes a big difference.

I purchased the Sony HDR-SR7 about a year ago. I use it on vacation and for underwater video. I love the HD quality video, the easy to use software for uploading and conversion to HD movies. I would recommend the camera to anyone wanting high quality video and still shot capability in one camera. I would recommend getiting a wide angle lens attachment makes a big difference.
Experience amazing picture quality and convenience. The HDR-SR7 lets you record remarkably clear and detailed high definition video onto its convenient 60 GB internal hard drive. The professional grade Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens ensures photo-realistic image quality, with a 10x optical/20x digital zoom that easily brings the action extra close, while Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization reduces blur from camcorder shake.
Take command and get creative with manual control for focus, exposure, shutter speed and white balance. View your shooting on the 2.7" wide Clear Photo LCD Plus display, featuring touch panel SwivelScreen technology, so you can view from any shooting angle. And capture more than movies using the dual record function to snap still images even while shooting video.
Shoot and view exceptional video, with stunning detail and clarity. Still-image performance is a remarkable 6.1 megapixels. And unlike traditional CCD Imagers, the CMOS Sensor requires less power, for longer battery performance. Record and play back both high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD) video on standard 3" (8cm) DVD media.
Capture and display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than other camcorders can, for a more vivid, accurate color range and natural, lifelike images. Advanced optics deliver amazing picture quality. The Carl Zeiss lens' optical multi-layer coating increases contrast while reducing glare and flare, so you see brilliant, vivid images, with true-to-life color saturation and perfect rendition of subtle tones. The additional T* coating on the lens reduces unwanted glare and flare.
Enjoy excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 211K pixel LCD screen shows sharp detailed imagery, and rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles during shooting or playback. Widescreen format makes it easy to compose shots in 16:9 mode. Capture still images with up to 2848 x 2136 resolution directly onto Memory Stick PRO Duo media for easy transfer to PCs. Perfect for E-mailing, printing or sharing with Memory Stick-compatible devices.
