5.0 out of 5 stars This is awesome, 23 Mar 2007
By C. B. Shread "CBS" (Devon, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
At first sight, this camcorder does not seem very special. But as soon as you hold it and start using it, you begin to realise that it really is worth every penny. The smooth slow motion record is much more than just a gimmick, it truly is awesome; I spent the first several hours recording random things with my friends, just feeling like little kids again with excitement. This feature alone makes the camcorder feel very special.
The HD quality is also more than just a gimmick; at first, I thought there would be barely any difference, but when you compare it to almost any standard definition recording, you understand that High Definition is so much crisper. The camera records rich colours and looks incredibly professional quality, especially on its very sharp 2.7" wide screen LCD.
The touch screen, for me is just a pointless gimmick, although I suppose it does reduce the amount of buttons on the camera.
When you first look at it, there seems to be no manual controls. Do not let this fool you. This camcorder is packed full of manual functions; all you have to do is select them from the menu. The White Balance is a brilliant feature, as is the manual control of focus, exposure and shutter speed.
Overall...
This camcorder is heaped full of features and manual controls. The image quality is stunningly sharp with vibrant colours. It is well worth the price. (In my opinion, the image quality looks better than a £2000 SD camcorder).

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not hesitate!, 27 Jun 2007
Pros: Many but chiefly ease of use, physical design, image quality, range of functionality

Cons: x.v.colour make no difference to my eyes and I waited on a screen that supported it before buying!

This was a very good purchase. I had a Hi8 and a MiniDV Sony camcorder and went for this because of the 1080i/16:9/x.v.colour support. The camcorder is very simple to use and if you are really dumb there is a "simple" mode button to push on the side then it could not get easier! The aesthetic design is great although online photos do not do it justice. It is compact. But the main thing is the image and sound quality is very
high. I run it into my Samsung 40" (LE40R87BD same as LE40R86) which is full HD and the image is great. Images caught outdoors on a sunny day (plenty light) are outstanding.

There is no chance I'd consider going back to SD! The HDV files can be transferred off the tape the same way as DV, but using the free HDVsplit software as opposed to WinDV which I used for DV. Each tape takes around 13 gig of space - talking of which reviews advised getting the HD tapes rather than standard DV tapes as they claimed the latter could have frame drops.

I bought a pack of 5 off Amazon.com for 50USD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 7 Oct 2007
By Mr. P. Gerrard (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After my old JVC camcorder returned home faulty after my sister borrowed it I decided to treat myself to a shiny new HDV camera.

After spending several weeks reading reviews my short list came down to the HC7 and the canon HV20, and eventually decided on the Sony and have not been disappointed. Quite frankly the picture even on a normal def TV is stunning, lovely colours and a very sharp picture.

Its easy to use and I quite like the touch screen although it does get greasy quickly, I'd recommend the screen protectors you can find on ebay.
The manual focus dial is a bit fiddly, if only sony had included a focus ring the camera would be very near perfect, but that said if they did it would probably end up in the prosumer bracket.

The only drawback with Sony is they put their own hotshoe on the camera limiting it to the about 3 mics and a few camera lights, I've tried the mics and they are pants really. There is a solution though... you can buy an adaptor for the hotshoe which enables standard mics to be used, but at £20 for a lump of metal a bit pricey(search on ebay for one).

I really cant fault the camera though, excellent in low light too.

Oh... dont believe the rubbish about HDV tapes, just use the sony premium ones which are about £1/each.
