4. Sony Handycam HDR-SR7
Editors' rating: 8.0
The good: Excellent video and performance; satisfying photo quality; a decent set of manual controls for the target audience; bundled dock.
The bad: No wind filter; no USB port on camcorder, just on bundled dock; annoying touch-screen interface; cables not ubiquitous yet for mini-HDMI connector.
The bottom line: The hard-drive-based analog of the HDR-HC7, the Sony Handycam HDR-SR7 finally delivers a cutting-edge HD video experience, complete with great video and compatibility frustrations.
