Sony FX7

From the manufacturer's website:

" Shoot like a pro with the HDR-FX7 high definition Handycam® camcorder. Capture amazing video and still images in high definition with the HDV 1080i 3 CMOS sensor consumer-level camcorder and player. The three (3) - 1/4" ClearVID? CMOS Sensors provide stunning detail and precision, while a 20x Optical Zoom Carl Zeiss® Lens maintains image clarity. Since the HDR-FX7 records video in high definition, you can record still images at the same time that you're shooting video. So no matter what the occasion, the HDR-FX7 is the perfect camcorder for the situation. "
