Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony HDR-SR7 AVCHD 6.1MP 60GB High Definition Hard Disk Drive Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: Steady shot is overheating causing image to jump
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been using this camera for 2 years now. The steady shot lens overheat frequently and block themselves causing the image to blur (jumping vertically). The footage is useless. It seams the problem happens in most SR models - I found a lot of similar complains not only about SR7. I am not going to risk and buy another model from sony anymore. I do not recommend to buy this camera! Customer Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this in summer of 2007 for my first child. Its great value and easy to use. photo quality is so good that we dont use our still digital camera.Recommended for new users like me. The only problem is that we could not figure hoe to run movies on external programs. So you have to install sony software on each new computer. Pictures arelatively easy and dont need sonys software.Customer Review: Not Mac compatible
Summary: 3 Stars
I am using this camera, and it is nice. However, my biggest gripe is that it is not Mac compatible. Many creative types use a Mac, which comes with very nice movie software. I have both Macs and PCs, but would have preferred to use my Mac.
Because it wasn't compatible, I purchased Sony's Vegas, but would have been much happier using iMovie.
Customer Review: Sony, always improving
Summary: 4 Stars
Sony, getting better all the time: This is not my first video camera, I started about 20 years ago with the Betamovie and with it I've made videos with such good quallity that I didn't change it by the next one, the Video 8 because it still wasn't better until the first Hi8 appeared which was really better than the Video 8 and the Betamovie, after it I've been changing my video cameras each three or four years and once I've tested a Panasonic which wasn't bad but, I've always felt better with Sony, and each time I buy a new one, I find new good surprices, beeing them in the head of those products's tecnology.
The only one thing I would complain about this last one, the HDR-SR7, is not having the red light for the photo camera which you need to get focus in dark.
Customer Review: Good cam tough format.
Summary: 4 Stars
I think the obvious has been stated.
The camera does a great job with good lighting. Low level lighting is an issue.
I knew that before I bought.
I also knew to have Sony Vegas primed for the AVCHD formatted files.
Playback is difficult on slower processors and editing via a laptop even with core2 duo processors is rough.
I hook the camera up to the TV via the mini hdmi/usb thumb drive via PS3/USB cable to PS3/SD DVD with AVCHD as BR on PS3.
The battery life has been ok for my usage. A backup will be necessary for vacation/long shoots.
Controls and interface are user friendly and the "easy" button is nice for instant settings and shoot.
I am very happy with this camera.
