This is the ultimate camcorder at this time. Interchangeable lens capability sets this in a class by itself. I bought an adapter to use Nikon SLR camera lenses for special effects. (Sony sells an adapter that works with its Alpha SLR lenses, as well.) Controls are professional all the way. Images are incredible. The dual-recording to tape, chip, or both is great. I've dropped the tape recording and now use just the compact flash recording. The CF chips are really cheap and make editing on the computer a snap. I think this may be the last professional/prosumer camera that Sony makes with tape drive. It's great for back-up, though. Beats out anything in the AVCHD category, and most HDV cameras out there (IMHO).
Great camera that is adaptable to many lens - easy to use to take everyday videos - also able to take special videos that require special settings. Use of memory card a big plus.

The Sony HVR-Z7U is still relevant in 2021. I bought it at a tremendous price, but had to make a repair to the mic holder and get a new mic cover. Other than that, it's worked flawlessly. I love the MRC1 CF card recorder and it works great, but be sure to buy a class 7 CF card or you will get an error message. With a Carl Zeiss interchangeable lens, a plethora of picture profiles and great image quality, the Z7U is a great camera for field or studio use.

The Sony HVR-Z7U is a camcorder that has interchangeable lenses with the capabilities of recording on mini dv tape or with the adapted MRC1 CF memory cards and clean HDMI out via Atamos recorder.
