Excellent Camera - Quality It is not a case of 'Gigs per Hour'

A previous reviewer made the point that the end filesize (per hour) when compared with tape based HDV proved that the 7E was inferior by a sigificant amount. Not true. I think that the end result is marginally inferior to HDV - but not much and the camera is MUCH more convenient.

nice camcorder, but won't record computer screens

If you never have need to record anything from computer screen or TV screen, this is a very nice camcorder.

Very good auto features, nice 1080i picture during normal light condition; The best consumer grade HD camcorder out there; Although its picture in low light is not as good as under ample light, it is still better than most consumer camcorders

When I use it to record PowerPoint presentation on computer screen, it has a lot of ghost lines; I am sure it is some kind of auto feature caused it; I turn off all the auto features: auto-white balance, auto-focus, etc, it still does it; Recording the TV screen also have many ghost lines.

Sony Handycam HDR-SR7

Although this review is for the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7, it is also applicable to the Sony Handycam HDR-SR8 which differs only in price, the capacity of its hard-disk and in a cosmetic detail or two.

Plenty of output and input options; Easy to hold steady; Sharp and vivid video

..; but you'll need an HD TV and Blu-ray/PS3 to truly get the best; Manual settings require diving through touchscreen menus; Mini-HDMI cable not included -- screams of penny pinching
