The HDR-SR7, SR8 is a Hi-Vision digital video camera with a built-in hard disk. Smooth, flowing lines are achieved along the entire body, from the lens in the front all the way to the EVF in the back. The EVF, which doubles as a grip, is slanted to reduce the load on the wrists and thereby allow more comfortable shooting over a long period of time. The steadfast finger grips also improve the ease of using the camera.
