The HDR-CX7, HDR-SR5 and HDR-SR7 three new AVCHD high-definition camcorders were announced today by Sony offering customers better ways to save their memories.

Being one of the smallest and lightest products on the market, the handycam HDR-CX7 offers up to 3 hours of high definition quality recording when equipped with a 8 GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card. A 60 GB worth of storage is available with the HDR-SR7 due to the built-in hard disk. With this there is enough space to save 22 hours of continous shooting… provided you have enough batteries. If you consider that none of the above cameras will work, there is the HDR-SR5 which comes with 40 GB (15 hours ) storage using a magnetic storage drive.

“Our models offer the added advantages of superior high-definition picture quality. With the widest range of consumer high-def models, we can satisfy the needs of virtually everyone” commented Linda Vuolo, director of camcorder marketing at Sony Electronics

Shipping in June the HDR-SR5, HDR-CX7 and HDR-SR7 camcorders will be priced around $1,100, $1,200 and $1,400, respectively. - Marius TRUSCULESCU -
