  2. Best overview of this camcorder I’ve seen so far. Sadly, it confirms some of my concerns about this unit. I wonder… did Sony actually speak to any videographers before designing this camera? I doubt it.

  8. I guess they had to maximise the r&d cost of the hc7. If they had to include other ins and outs they should have gone back to the drawing board and delay everything.
