The Sony HDR-CX7 is a lightweight camcorder capable of delivering 1080i video via Memory Stick PRO Duo memory cards, using the AVCHD format. This is Sony's first camcorder that allows you to record HD and SD video as well as still images directly to a memory stick.
The camera comes equipped with a large CMOS sensor. Sony's CMOS ClearVID technology helps increase resolution and image clarity while keeping the camera compact enough to take almost anywhere.
Additionally, the camera features both HD Component and HDMI (High Definition Media Interface) output, along with optical image stabilization. All of this, combined with Sony's reputation for durability and reliability, makes the HDR-CX7 a great way to break into HD video recording.
