Videomaker is working on a Sony HDR-FX7 review at the moment, and they decided to grace us with some sample footage. Check it out here for the full scoop along with some color reference charts. The clips are straight off the camcorder in .m2t format. Use VLC if you don’t have a suitable player.
There is also a set of 9 HDV MPEG streams you can download and peruse, one from each camcorder. All shots and settings are matched and noted.
