Sound quality is superb!! Still pictures are great. Video is outstanding. In camera mode the still shots are wonderful at 6.1 mp. In video mode the captured picture shots are still excellent at 4.0 mp. HIGH Quality shots and video in one camera. Close ups are not the best because of range. You need to get a little further away than if you would if you were using a regular camera. But to juggle a camera and a video camera around to an event you can't beat it. We took video and pictures of the kids soccer games and were exceptionally pleased. It was great. The battery life was also good. The camera is compact in size and extremely light in comparison to a regular palm camera. The touch screen for menus worked well for our family. Easily fits into a fanny pack for traveling. Very happy with quaily, purchase, ease of use and computer compatibility. Great Product.

I am using this Handycam for a while. It is really 'Handy', looks stylish, and perhaps everything i expected of a handycam, but its ability to capture video at night is simply horrible. None of the settings, i tried worked at night time.

The SR300 is easy to use and that is what I wanted. Point it and shoot. In video mode, it does 4 mega pixel pictures. While recording, you can capture 3 stills only. If you are in video mode and not recording, you can capture as many as you like up to the limit of the hard drive and/or memory stick. In straight still mode, it is a 6 mega pixel camera. If you are looking for super high quality still camera, this is not it. I went from a 2 mega pixel camera to this, so I am pleased with the quality and I don't have to always carry two cameras around. I am using this to capture kids and this is just what I need.

The SR300 is easy to use and that is what I wanted. My wife can easily use it to shoot videos / stills of our little one. Video from this camera is in mpg format, so your DVD software does not have to convert the files. You can burn DVDs directly using Sony's software or even easily edit your own DVDs using Nero without converting the files. Videos are great to watch on your TV. Still Picture quality is great. I have jumped from 3 MP to 6 MP stills and am impressed. Also don't have to carry 2 different cameras around for every trip. Could definitely use a slightly longer battery life. Am thinking about buying a spare for my trips. Overall, a great camera with easy to use features.

The Sony DCR-SR300 is a great standard definition camcorder to be sure. The video in bright light looks great. Few camcorders this easy to use can produce that kind of image. The MPEG-2 format flavor Sony employs on their camcorders allows for simple drag-and-drop files. Most HDD and DVD camcorders from other manufacturer split the video and audio, requiring a 3rd party software to piece it back together. All in all, though, we’re not ready to part with our money on this one unless the price drops considerably. HD is the future, and if you are willing to spend this much, we’d recommend investing in forward-facing technology.

The Sony DCR-SR300 digital camcorder should appeal to casual, snapshooter-type videographers, but it's somewhat pricey, since its video quality still can't match better MiniDV camcorders.

Since the HDR-FX7 records video in high-definition, you can dual record still images at the same time. So no matter what the occasion, the HDR-FX7 is the perfect camcorder for the situation.

It’s hard not to like Sony’s HDR-FX7, and only a few years ago we would have loved it. This is a camcorder that combines a solid suite of desirable features, accessible and well-tuned controls, and terrific bright-light video performance. Unfortunately for the FX7, the high-end “consumer� camcorder niche seems a threatened species. Based on price alone, Canon’s XH A1 and HDR-FX7 are competing for the same customer base – and the Canon matches or surpasses the Sony in nearly every category except weight. The FX7 is a likeable camcorder. Its images appear sharper and more colorful thanmost prosumer cams, including the XH A1. Its programmability also makes it a good option for low-budget studio shoots where camera syncing is not required. The FX7 is a good camcorder for applications like wedding and event videography, corporate production settings, and low-budget films where interlaced video is acceptable and strong low light performance is not required. For ENG and documentary field production, camcorders with better audio features, low light performance, and external manual controls like the Canon XH A1/G1 or Sony HVR-V1U are sounder choices.

The FX7 handles quite well, is comfortable to hold and has easy-to-access controls. We're very pleased with the color and sharpness on an HD monitor. It performs well in low light situations, much like its predecessor, the VX2100. A drawback is that the onboard mic records decent stereo sound, but the option of plugging in a higher quality mic via XLR would be nice. The mini stereo mic input requires an adapter or mixer, which could introduce problems and interference. Anyone working in a professional production environment will find the Sony HDR-FX7 to be an affordable high-quality solution.

I have taken many classes in which many different cameras have been used. This camera is by far the easiest for ameture videographers and has great features for those who are more trained in videography. A very sophisicated camera.
