Sony introduces a trio of HD HandyCams
Posted on Apr 26, 07 09:56 AM PDT

Sony jumps into the High Definition camcorder fray with a trio of new models, namely the HDR-CX7, the HDR-SR7, and the HDR-SR5. All three models come with 2.7" LCD displays, Sony's very own ClearVid CMOS sensor technology, Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T optics, and Sony's x.v.Color technology. Recording is done in the AVCHD format while a high speed USB 2.0 connection works great for editing and backup purposes, although I would've liked to see FireWire used instead since it is much faster. Only the HDR-CX7 ($1,200) uses a Memory Stick Pro card for storage, while the HDR-SR7 ($1,400) and HDR-SR5 ($1,100) come with 60GB and 40GB hard drives respectively.
