Reviews

SDR-S7S is rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Perfect for the youtube generation It is perfect for creating good quality films of everyday life. It's compact size means you can take it anywhere without inconvienence. The battery only last about 30 mins before it runs out so it can be a bit difficult in remote locations. I use solar panel rechargers to get over that.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from My Opinion on this Camera - Meh. Has no AV IN, so if you want a fully useful camera buy something else.
