CMOS technology typically draws less battery power than CCD does, and Sony rates the HDR-FX7's battery life at about 8 hours, compared with the HDR-FX1's 6.5 hours. Rather than the three CCDs of the HDR-FX1, the HDR-FX7 uses a trio of Sony's 1-megapixel ClearVid CMOS chips, the same sensor technology used by the single-chip HDR-HC3. For the HDR-FX7, Sony sacrifices some wide-angle attitude for a more marketing-driven 20x zoom monster. For instance, the HDR-FX1 has a practical, 12x zoom lens with an excellent (for a camcorder) wide-angle start of 32.5mm (35mm-equivalent). Many of the changes make this a more consumer-friendly model or, to be more specific, a consumer-sales-friendly model.

That's where the similarities end, however, as the HDR-FX7 has completely different sensors and optics that effectively make it an altogether different camcorder. Like the HDR-FX1, the HDR-FX7 is a three-chip, 'prosumer' HD video model they have roughly the same design and feature set. Though 'budget' isn't a term that readily applies to a AU$5,499 camcorder, you might think of Sony's Handycam HDR-FX7 as a budget version of its older sibling, the AU$5,999 Handycam HDR-FX1.
