 Excellent ProductNov 19, 2009
This product was for my journalist friend in South America. The packaging was very professional, received earlier than expected and my friend lives it.
Sony FX7 Camera a WinnerOct 15, 2009
I researched many cameras & kept coming back to this one. I loved my old Sony TRV-30 but it was time for an upgrade.
The camera is easy to use. Probably larger than you think but for high quality pro-sumer or low to mid end corporate this camera is perfect size.
I loved the Super SteadyShot Optical Stabilization System - truly this feature is a must. Camera can get a bit heavy after holding it up alot...it's not a on-the-shoulder camera so the SteadyShot is a must.
Haven't seen the results of HD on MiniDV tapes yet but the transition between 4:3 & 16:9 and SD & HD appears to be simple.
Also, haven't tried the movie quality features yet either but I'm in it for corporate shooting so it's not a make or break for me.
The custom pre-sets you can set up are a nice feature.
Great camera for the price.

Great for Sporting EventsOct 13, 2009
I purchased this camera and I do a lot of highlights for High School football. This has been a great purchase. Easy to switch between HD and SD and the picture quality is OUTSTANDING. The drawback was no XLR connections but it does have a basic mike jack and the shotgun mike attached is pretty good. I have no problems with it. It is easy to use, I haven't even switched it off of the auto settings and it does everything I want. And it shoots well in low light situations. When I go to slo mo clips in editing, the clips I shot with this are better than good. If you are a sports guy, this camera is a good buy.

Baby, Where Ya Been All My LIFE?Jul 27, 2009
I bought this camcorder to replace a damaged 2100 Sony camcorder (which I really liked!) and I wasn't so sure about the HDV. After all, most of my customers/clients aren't buying HD products yet.
Well, my first job was a shoot at a convention, doing a celebrity "roast" for one of the guest writers.
Can you spell 'flawless'? Sure you can!
Can you say 'beautiful imagery'? I figured you could.
Can you hear the GIANT SMILE on my face when the director complimented my shots?
Even a near-idiot like me can look good with a camera like this one. Smooth zooms, effortless focusing (it could be a little faster on autofocus, but considering the low-light in that auditorium, not so bad after all) and the light weight and balance were great on the end of my jib crane! And considering that I hadn't even practiced with it (I wasn't expecting to be using it until 2 days before the shoot; my plans were for my cameraman to be shooting on Sunday while I was directing!), this camera was FANTASTIC!

Sony FX7Jul 08, 2009
The video I have shot so for has been outstanding. I have tried it in the Hd and normal Dv and both have been crisp and clear.
