Sony HDR-TG7VE Handycam

Sony TG7VE

Sony have announced their new HDR-TG7VE Camcorder, which boasts 6 hours of full HD recording on 16GB of internal memory.

The Sony HDR-TG7VE is a lightweight and compact camcorder that fits into the palm of your hand. Despite being small, the TG7VE isn’t low in quality, as it’s body is made from tough titanium.

One key feature which holiday makers and travellers will love is it’s automatic geotagging with GPS and Map Index view.

Following on from the success of the TG3E, Sony have carried many of the features through to the TG7VE Handycam such as the sleek design and the tough scratch resistant titanium body.

The TG7VE has a decent amount of internal memory, 16GB, that allows for around 6 hours of storage in full HD quality and stereo sound. If that’s not enough for you, just add a memory stick.

The primary users of the TG7VE are those looking for a lightweight, compact camcorder, or Handycam as Sony prefer. It slips easily into a pocket or the smallest of bags. Travellers will find the GPS receiver and Geotagging useful. The Map Index feature shows where movie clips and still photos were taken as map pins on the LCD screen. This means you can identify your location when you’ve returned home.

As with most of the Sony range of cameras, the TG7VE comes with Face Detection and Smile Shutter technology. Blah blah, it’s really good (you already know how good it is) and even works in video mode.
