The HDR-CX6/CX7 is an ultra-compact video camera featuring Hi-Vision recording on a “memory stick.” Use of a 8GB memory stick enables long recording time, up to two hours and 55 minutes. The configuration is both simple and powerful, with a straight layout from the lens to the grip, and the display panel affixed to the side. The grip is tilted at an angle of about 10 degrees to reduce the load on the wrists and enable relaxed shooting over long time periods. On the operating screen, all functions are shown on the home display, enabling easy access, and the GUI, which uses a touch-sensitive LCD panel, ensures comfortable operability.
