I am planning to buy a camcorder with range not being an issue. I am looking with minimal manual control and heard Sony has best of the point-and-shoot camcorders. Also I would prefer HardDisk format. What amongst the above model would you suggest. I heard that high definition video is the latest in the market. Can someone help me deicde where SDR or HDR to opt for? Also are there any major difference between SR5 & SR7, apart from HDD capacity and still image resolution. As i already have a digital camera, I prefer this as video capturing device. Still image quality is not an criteria. Other than that, does SR5 and SR7 fall into same league in terms of video quality? Would really appreicate if someone can throw some light on it? Thanks in advance.
