The Sony HDR-CX7 gets reviewed at CCInfo, who, as usual, give it a good going over to come up with results that give you a much better idea of what you are dealing with. For instance, the review finds that the Sony HDR-CX7 is going to be good for point-and-shoot users who have money to spend, but lacks some of the finer manual controls to which an avid enthusiast would want access.
Video quality was very good, but not the best of the year. However, I can say that most people wouldn’t even notice unless footage from other camcorders was displayed side by side.
Because the camcorder lacks some manual features, it also means that there is less to worry about messing up. Translate: easy. If you are looking for a very small tapeless camcorder, and all you want to do is shoot video, the Sony HDR-CX7 looks like a winner.
