Key Features:

Sony's HDR-TG7V Full HD Flash Memory PAL Camcorder belongs to Sony's stylish line of TG GPS capable camcorders. With a pistol-grip form-factor and sleek titanium body the HDR-TG7VE is both scratch-resistant and easy to use. Although it embodies many of the same design features as today's YouTube-centric pocket camcorders the TG7V far surpasses its more simplified counterparts.

The HDR-TG7V has a 16GB built-in flash memory with the option to record to Sony's Memory Stick media. The 1/5" Exmor CMOS sensor and the BIONZ image processor help you capture 1920 x 1080i high def video and 640 x 480 digital stills. Other support features include SteadyShot image stabilization, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, and Advanced Dual Record for capturing video and stills simultaneously.

In addition to these useful functions the HDR-TG7V also comes with GPS capabilities. Geotag your locations and save them on the Map Index. Your video clips can be uploaded to video sharing sites with your location information, or saved in your personal files according to location, making it easier to share and retrieve your memories.

Other highlights of the TG7V include 10x optical zoom, a 2.7" touchscreen LCD display, an HDMI output to HDTV, and features such as Face Index and Film Roll Index. Sony's Picture Motion Browser software comes included with the camera for editing on your Windows based PC.

• Small and Light Enough to Keep with You With less size and weight to carry, it's easy to slip your camcorder into a pocket or bag: you can be sure it's always with you, wherever you go
• Know Where You Are.... And Where You've Been GPS tracks your position as you travel. See the exact location of your clips and still images with maps on the LCD screen. Then review your journey when you're back home with online Google Maps on your PC
• Have More Fun with Your Video Collection It's easy to manage your video clips and photos with Picture Motion Browser for your PC - included free with your camcorder. Sort, search and browse through all your clips and photos in an instant. Burn them to disc, email to friends or upload to social networking sites with a few clicks
• More Smiles Every Time Wouldn't it be great having a photographer by your side, capturing great still pictures of happy faces while you're shooting video of a party or another special event? Smile Shutter automatically shoots still photos whenever your subject smiles, without interrupting video recording
• Anyone Can Make Their Own Movies Once you've shot a lot of footage with your camcorder, it takes time and effort to edit the results together and produce your own 'mini movies'. The camcorder automatically picks and assembles clips together, adding professional-looking transition effects and a music soundtrack
