Previous review is soooooooo wrong.......2008-01-12

Fancy quibbling over £32 when you have saved at least £250 from the Sony UK price! (and paid the cheapest price anywhere on t'interweb!)
This camcorder just reeks of quality. A lovely feel in the hand, not at all heavy and a very accessible touchscreen menu.
On the highest quality setting my camcorder can store 999 photos so i really dont understand the previous reviewers beef.
Anyway, I can highly recommend this product.

Ripped off!.......2008-01-09

Bought this camcorder from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. However, i've looked on Amazons website today and the product is £32 cheaper! How can it drop £32 in one day? Unfortunately i cannot return the item as i've opened the box and set the date etc. The actual product itself is quite heavy and not well balanced making it want to tilt to the left all the time. Image quality under artificial lighting is poor , i've yet to use it outside due to dark evenings, i await the weekend. The main reason for me buying this camera is that i do alot of filming and editing as a hobby and wanted something decent without taking out a second mortgage for a professional version. The other reason was i already had a sony dvd205 and could use the batteries from that to save me buying more, how wrong was i. This camera takes the "H" series battery, not the "P" series. Ok, so you don't have to buy the blank media because of the hard drive but you still have to purchase the duo memory sticks for taking photo's. Not value for money and you could probably get something better for a lot less money!!

Excellent Camera - Quality It is not a case of 'Gigs per Hour'.......2007-12-13

A previous reviewer made the point that the end filesize (per hour) when compared with tape based HDV proved that the 7E was inferior by a sigificant amount. Not true. I think that the end result is marginally inferior to HDV - but not much and the camera is MUCH more convenient.

The AVCHD codec H264 is radically newer and more efficient than HDV. And tape is dying!! Personally I convert from AVCHD to HDV so that I edit my footage efficiently (AVCHD is a pig to edit natively) and my results are brilliant. Great camera at the price (but do some research if you plan to edit)

excellent and fantastic.. buy it.......2007-12-08

Firstly this is my second camcorder, i have been editing movies now for some 4 years. I always use sony vegas video. which the current version takes the new AVCHD format. and bloody hell the quality is amazing with this little gem. Its small but packs a ricky hatton punch... you will not be dissappointed.. i bought it from amazon also, quick delivery very impressed....

Fantastic Camera!.......2007-12-06

If you are pro and you want very high quality, and are using this camera, surely you will have a laptop and a program like Adobe OnLocation CS3, which means you are not using the AVCHD codec and therefore not loosing quality. Anyway, NOBODY would buy this camera when recording an HD Documentary, if a program is going to be watched by loads of people I am sure many more expensive cameras would be used, to yeild almost identical results. The codec produces excellent results - don't be put off by the fact that it makes much smaller files.

I sometimes really do not get why people like to pretend that they know so much by degrading a product on false pretenses. This comment area is not for showing off, it is for helping/encouraging/warning other buyers
