I clicked on the link on your Youtube review of the Sony TX7 and bought the camera off of Amazon. Thank you for the great review. I have one question about SD cards. Which card did you use? How fast does the 1080P video use up card space? My wife is taking the camera on vacation and I am not sure if I need a 32GB X6 card or not.
Hi there, thanks for sharing all your impressions and hints regarding TX7 etc. Coming from a video backround I just wonder if this amazing small HD video cam has a auto focus that works also during you shoot a video. I have already a small canon ixus that has at least 720p but the big bummer is that the focus is adjusted but fixed after you started the movie recording. I am pretty much sure that the sony HX5V has this feature and I just hope that this smaller animal has this ability too. Thanks for some light on this !

Thanks so much for your reviews. I’m debating between the TX7 and the TX5. I’m amazed by the TX7 low light capabilities and remember you said it performed better than the TX1. I know you said the TX5 is like the TX1, but looking at the specs, it looks like the lens may be more like the TX7. Looking at the specs, do you think the TX5 will perform more like the TX7 or the TX1 in low light?
