The Sony HDR-FX7 is a lightweight camcorder capable of delivering 1080i video via MiniDV tapes using the HDV format. This camera bears some resemblance to the Sony HDR-FX1 in both form and function, but boasts a few changes sure to entice consumers, enthusiasts and professionals alike.

The camera comes equipped with three CMOS sensors. These sensors are arranged in the same manner as the more prevalent 3CCD cameras, one for each color channel. 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 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-FX7 a perfect solution for news and event videography.

Where do I purchase the Memory Card for this ...

Where do I purchase the Memory Card for this camera? Our school has one and could never find the correct memory card.
Asked by: Lesia
The FX7 has a Memory Stick Pro port, which is a kind of media we no longer sell and is hard to find. Please keep in mind this memory card captured still images only, it was not capable of recording video.

question

I have this camera and am now looking to mount an external recorder (Ninja Blade), ideally to the accessory mount /cold shoe. I'm confused about what mount I need- this is my first Sony product and I keep reading about how Sony mounts are unique- but this one looks pretty standard. Can I use any normal mount, or do I need to use a special Sony one? Please link to product(s), thank you!
