The Sony Handycam HDR HC7 has all the features and performance that you could want from an HDV camcorder. Granted, all this comes at a higher price than many other HDV camcorders, but if you’re into features the Sony Handycam HDR HC7 won’t disappoint.

Quality is unbelievable, handling and control is amazing...None i have come across so far, I guess you could say cost ...With the Sony HC7E you can capture up to 6 Megapixel still images, with image quality further assured by the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T
