Sony HDR-CX7 Manuel D’Utilisation
Tapeless revolution
The HDR-CX7 is the first AVCHD camcorder to record to a Memory Stick. The
Memory Sticks we used were each 1GB and stored 7 minutes of HD video.
While the docking station makes it relatively easy to transfer and store video
and images to a computer, changing tiny Memory Sticks becomes a bit cum-
bersome. The immediate option is to purchase a Memory Stick or two of a
larger capacity. This seems to be the best option, unless you want to change
Memory Sticks every few minutes or download your footage after each use.
Recording to a Memory Stick saves time and money if you frequently pur-
chase tapes and spend hours capturing your footage to your computer.

conclusion
With a positive step in the tapeless direction, Sony has produced a good-
looking and super-compact first-of-its kind consumer-level AVCHD cam-
corder that is relatively user-friendly and produces great-quality HD video.
This would be a great camcorder for anyone who wants to do handheld
video of almost any kind and great for a vacation or traveling where space
is limited.
