Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 price range: $1,399.95
- Reviewed by: Lori Grunin

The good: Excellent video and performance; satisfying photo quality; a decent set of manual controls for the target audience; bundled dock.
The bad: No wind filter; no USB port on camcorder, just on bundled dock; annoying touch screen interface; cables not ubiquitous yet for mini-HDMI connector.
The bottom line: The hard-drive-based analog of the HDR-HC7, the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 finally delivers a cutting-edge HD video experience, complete with great video and compatibility frustrations.

Summary: The camcorder is good.records a clear picture but the zoom doesnt really excite much.20x digital zoom doesnt seem to be there at all. Editing the footage is definitely a painful task.I bought it from stop4camera.com. just a word of caution dont buy it from them because they post one thing on their site and when you go to order they say it is sold out and they offer you a package adding the extended warranty cleaning kit etc showing the whole cost at 1600-1800$$ and giving it to you for 1199$. if you calculate the actual cost of the items individually on the internet all of them definitely add to atleast a 100$ less than what you will be paying. Their restocking fee calculations are also very confusing. i got screwed up by them.
