Pros + Very good image quality impression
+ 20x zoom
+ handling well-conceived
HDMI out
+ Excellent resolution in brightness and color
+ Very small
+ Many manual functions
+ 25 FPS-mode
Cons - Audio controlling only via menu
-less Wide-angle than FX1/A1/HVX200
- Optics only average, small wide-angle
- No microphone jack
- unergonomic design
Conclusion The Sony HDR-FX7 uses its 1/4-inch-CMOS-Wandler almost to full capacity.The resolution, at least in the Y-channel is good, the color resolution is a little weaker.Low noise and smear-effects together with excellent automatics ensure a very good image impression.The 20x lens shows comparatively few errors like aberrations or distortion, but the wide-angle could be larger for this price range.In low light situations the FX7 is just about good -- here too the low noise a plus point.The Canon HV10 has an CMOS with excellent resolution, which almost uses the HDV possibilities of brightness and color resolution to the full.The lens shows very little distorsion, but offers only a small wide angle, and throughout the focal range slight chromatic aberrations can be seen.Under lowlight conditions the HV10 performs - as expected with a camcorder in this price range - average, a better configuration rating is hinderd by lacking audio-I/O options
