Total score ?
(maximal 570)		419389
Pros + sharp display and viewfinder
+ professional controls and settings
+ good low-light behaviour
+ Very good image quality impression
+ 20x zoom
+ handling well-conceived
HDMI out
+ 25p
Cons - default factory settings somewhat conservative
- No XLR audio
-less Wide-angle than FX1/A1/HVX200
Conclusion Thanks to a sharp display, many professional controls and good low light characteristics this newcomer is a real improvement in Sony´s HD-portfolio.The only rival is the Canon XH A1, which offers XLR-audio, but lags behind in terms of display and viewfinder.The Sony HVR-V1 makes the most of the three 1/4-inch CMOS-converter .The brightness resolution is good, the color resolution lacks somewhat.The progressive mode offers more vertical resolution, but shows occasional color artifacts.Low noise and little smear effects together with excellent automatics make for a very good subjective image impression.The 20x lens shows comparatively few errors like aberrations or distortion, but the wide-angle could be larger for this price range.Lowlight performance of the FX7 is good, the plus points being low noise and the optional hyper-gain.
