Sony has introduced the new Handycam CX7K (HDR-CX7K), the first Memory Stick capable Handycam camcorder that records high-definition videos and captures up to 6.1 mega pixels of still images in various Memory Stick media including the Memory Stick PRO DUO, Memory Stick PRO-HG DUO and Memory Stick Micro. As the lightest and most compact AVCHD camcorder available in the market, the Handycam CX7K can easily fit into one's palm at only 6.9cm x 6.7cm x 13.1cm . With Sony’s original low power consumption technology, the Handycam CX7K can shoot continuous for 6 hours deemed to be one of the highest stamina for AVCHD Handycam camcorders.

Based on the new xvYCC international standard, x.v.Colour technology assures supremely life-like colour reproduction. Compared to conventional camcorders, x.v.Colour approximately doubles the range of colours that can be reproduced, close to what the human eye can see.
It is the one and only camcorder that records high-definition videos on one of the smallest media available, the Memory Stick. Customers can now leverage on the Memory Stick media to playback videos directly from the Handycam CX7K to VAIO notebooks and PLAYSTATION 3 without transferring movies to the hard disk of the devices.
Packed into the compact Handycam CX7K are Sony's original ClearVid CMOS sensor and Enhanced Imaging Processor that deliver clear movies shot in dim environment or in twilight based on the minimum illumination of only 2 lux . It can also achieve Smooth Slow recording for slow-motion recording of objects that are too quick for the human eyes to perceive especially in sports such as a golf swing. A 3-second video recorded can be playback in a 12-second slow motion video with audio recorded in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. The dual recording mode realized by both the ClearVid CMOS sensor and Enhanced Imaging Processor allows both videos and high quality still images to be captured concurrently. With the Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization technology, the Handycam CX7K captures stable videos despite inevitable hand movements.
Similar to the latest AVCHD HDD Handycam SR8, SR7 and SR5, it has a simple-to-use GUI to shoot, review, change in settings and even edit images. Specific sections of the video footage can be split and deleted with the divide function. A favourite playlist can also be created for quick and easy access to the popular videos. Besides the conventional visual index and date index search, users can also search with the new film roll index function by displaying thumbnails of scene captures at specific intervals or the new face index function that displays faces detected by the face detection engine . To avoid the hassle of handling a PC, the Handycam CX7K has an easy one-touch "Disc Burn" function in the bundled Handycam Station that transfers videos directly to an AVCHD or DVD disc.
Alternatively, one can use the Easy PC Back-up function that backups new videos in the PC's hard disk automatically. With the Picture Motion Browser software installed, user can extract still images up to 3 mega pixels from video content, edit videos and save them in an AVCHD or a DVD disc.
The new Handycam CX7K series will be available in Asia Pacific from July.
