The HDR-CX7
and HDR-SR7 camcorders will ship in June, 2007 and retail for
about $1,200 and $1,400, respectively.
Sony says the unit can record three hours of full HD 1080 video
on an 8-GB media card and weighs just 15 ounces with the
battery.
Sony's new HDR-SR7 AVCHD high-definition camcorder can record
more than 22 hours of full HD 1080 video on its built-in 60GB
hard disk drive.
“Camcorder users are quickly embracing non-linear camcorder
formats, such as hard disk drive and flash media, because they
make it easy for anyone to view and access footage quickly,”
said Linda Vuolo, director of camcorder marketing at Sony
Electronics.
The HDR-CX7 and HDR-SR7 utilize a 3-megapixel sensor for full HD
1080 video and 6-megapixel digital still photos.
The new models support the AVCHD camcorder recording format
based on the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec for video compression and
Dolby® digital audio.
The HDR-CX7 and HDR-SR7 camcorders will ship in June, 2007 and
retail for about $1,200 and $1,400, respectively.
