Sony 1080i High-Definition Digital Camcorder Review

There is no denying that we live in a true digital age. With most televisions and computers turning to high-definition formatting it is very important that all of your digital electronics are able to handle the demands high-def requires. If you are in the market for a new digital camcorder, than there are only a select few high-definition digital camcorders I would suggest. Perhaps the greatest high-definition digital camcorder on the market today is the Sony 1080i High-Definition Digital Camcorder, Model: HDR-CX7. This digital camcorder has all of the major features that you expect from a high-definition camcorder, however, there are several image-enhancing features within this HD camcorder that cannot be found in any other device.

Main Product Features:

The main feature that I have found to be extremely exciting concerning this HD digital camcorder is how you are able to store your video. You will not be recording on a Mini DV or even on a hard drive, but rather on a Memory Stick PRO Duo. Because of this, this camcorder is extremely lightweight, and you are able to transfer your videos to your computer faster than ever before. The best part about this feature is it makes creating and distributing videos faster and easier than any other digital camcorder, which is great if you enjoy putting videos on YouTube.

You are able to take both still images and high-quality videos with this digital camcorder. When you choose the still image mode, you are able to have pictures that feature 6 megapixels, which will give your images vivid details that will provide you with ultra-realistic photographs. When you switch to video mode, this digital camcorder will utilize the CMOS ClearVid 3-Megapixel sensor to capture your movies. This is one of the best recording sensors in the industry, and is unique to this Sony camcorder.

Every image and video you capture within this high-definition digital camcorder is filtered through the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T-Lens, which will give you crystal-clear images without any type of distortion or noise. You are able to zoom into objects with the 10x optical zoom, as well as the 20x digital zoom.

One of the coolest features is the Dual Record Mode, which allows you to record both videos and still images at the exact same time, saving you lots of time. The Super SteadyShot image stabilization system will allow all of your images, both video and still, to be extremely clear and free from any type of motion blur due to shaky hands or an unsteady shooting surface. This is a great feature to have especially when you are zooming into an object.

Product Price:

This ultra-portable, and extremely sophisticated, high-definition digital camcorder from Sony is available for an average price of only $1,050. While this may be high for a camcorder, you will never find another product that will provide you with such advanced and user-friendly functions.
