Sony Handycam DCR-IP7 ... newly developed recording format MICROMV that records MPREG2 with a high data transfer rate. It achieves 60 minutes of continuous recording with DV equivalent image quality while reduces the media size to 30% of miniDV tape. Additionally, it employs a high capacity IC that enables users to search and edit video clips easily.

The Sony DCR-IP7 comes equipped with Bluetooth functionality and users can access the Internet through either a Bluetooth compatible modem adaptor, BTA-NW1 (sold separately) or a Bluetooth compatible mobile phone. It also allows users to exchange data stored in a Memory Stick via email software or edit and browse a digital album posted on a web site without using a PC. By using the DCR IP7 users can send and receive pictures (JPEG), video clips (MPEG1) and text based emails stored on the Memory Stick wherever they are: anytime anywhere. A maximum of 50 names and addresses can be stored and up to 50 messages can be saved on Memory Stick (sold separately). Web sites can be browsed via the DCR-IP7 2.5" monitor. There are two "Viewing Modes" to display web pages. Normal view shows a part of a web page at its real size. Shrunk view shows the whole web page by reducing its size. Up to 30 bookmarks can be registered on the camera. Sony's original web site, ImageStation is pre-registered in the camera so that users can enjoy editing and sharing pictures with the others.

When I purchased a Sony IP7 in 2002 this was the smallest video camera in the world. 3 years later and its still one of the tiniest consumer video cameras available. Back then the MicroMV format that this camera uses was just starting out and it looked like it could be the future for home video cameras. However this has not been the case as MicroMV is a format still only used in Sony video cameras and it is doubtful it will ever go any further than that. This brings us to the major downside of the IP7 - compatability. The microMV format used in the IP7 throws up numerous problems when trying to edit footage captured by the camera not usually encountered when ...  Read the complete review
