An average camera at a high price tag, 2010-01-18
When you buy a []£ camera you expect it to be of a high quality especialy for it being from sony, unfortunately this isn't the case with this camera.
Practical people might buy it because of the quality of the video and photographs taken by this camera. Video quality is average, nothing exceptional nothing bad. Imaging quality is very poor especially indoors, in fact, if you take a photograph with this camera and the same photograph by a much cheaper reliable camera (in my case Sony DSC H7) you will notice a very big difference in quality between the two. My newborn daugther looked dull, lifeless and ugly in photos and because I believed in the brand I thought it was just the way she looks, when I took photographs using my older camera the difference was obvious.
One other thing that might tempt you to buy this camera is GPS. The only thing that it does is just to suck down your battery. The other day I was near Marble arch in London in that open area between the arch and Hyde Park and the GPS couldn't locate where we was!, using the GPS indoors was just impossible even though my nokia phone with GPS was able to locate where it was indoors.
Additionaly you might buy the camera for the looks, it is supposed to be small, but it is bigger and no better than a comapct camera, and talking of small, my 10 year old miniDV sony camera was just a bit wider. and for the looks the battery is enclosed inside and that results in you forgetting long shooting sessions (otherwise you have to carry a couple of spares), and the touch screen is just an annoyance and is not comfortable to use and would be suitable for some cheap generic camera but not this. For the looks you also sacrifice the hand strap which can come in handy.
What completes the vicious circle is the software and media downloading from the camera. You cannot access what is stored inside the camera unless you install the software, and in many occasions you cannot access what is inside the memory card through the camera even with the software! I had to buy a card reader to gain access to the photos and videos in the memory card that were in it.
If you ever consider buying one, do not buy it directly from the internet, go to a shop, try it first and judge for yourself. But honestly what I would sugget is just to avoid this purchase altogether. and at this price there are many cameras from many manufacturers that offer a much higher quality and value for money.

Bought this camcorder a few months ago and I am very happy with its performance. The video is very good especially in bright light, similarly the pictures. The software is very good, but you need a decent spec computer to for convert the video. I find the controls are well placed to operate with one hand, and the camcorder slips very easily into your pocket. For holiday and any normal activity this camcorder is excellent. If you can get it at a good price I would highly recommend it.
Sony HDR-TG7VE Review, 2010-02-09
Very sleek camcorder with good picture and sound quality when seen on TV.Tried to view in my DVD recorder and it did not accept the format. So make sure you have a high definition compatable DVD player before you try to view them. Quality of photographs is good as well, althhough it has just a 4 mega pixel camera. I haven't managed to record any videos with dim light or in the dark hence cannot comment on the quality in the dark. I was very disappointed at the quality of the picture when it was uploaded on You tube.Even a video that was taken on my 7.0 megapixell canon camera was much better quality when uploaded in You tube.The GPS system not sure how useful it is as havent had a chance to try it but all it does is it locates where the video was shot.It would have been useful to have a GPS navigator as could have been useful on my holidays.
Overall expensive but if you are looking for a sleek camcorder ideal.
seriously good camcorder, 2010-03-30
The Sony Handycam HDR-TG7VE High Definition Flash Memory Camcorder with 16GB Internal Memory is a seriously good camcorder so far it has worked so well in giving us fantastic HD film of a number of concerts. Truly delighted with the complete package.
Fantastic....., 2010-03-14
If you have the money then consider this camera and put it at the top of your wish list. Its great as a point and shoot machine but there are an awful lot of features that you can enjoy and use......almost too many.
The lens is great....maybe not quite wide enough because you will need the wide angle converter to compliment your setup.
In addition, you will need a very big hard drive. The camera, as you will find produce some very big files. And you may want to burn some DVD's so a DVD drive/burner will be required. More memory would not hurt either.
Overall......wow. A great camera.
ps. It does have a mounting screw for a tripod. I had no end of trouble trying to find any reference to this feature.
