Sony’s new HDR-FX7 ($3,500) is a 1080i high-definition camcorder with CMOS chips instead of the CCDs usually offered on camcorders.
\r\n\r\nThe company aims to differentiate the HDR-FX7 with three-chip ClearVID CMOS sensor technology. Each of the three chips is dedicated to a separate RGB channel–the red, blue and green layers used to capture the full visible color spectrum in one image.
