Canon Realis SX7 - SXGA New
This is Canon's top of the line portable projector. It sports SXGA+ native resolution of 1400x1050. While it may seem very pricey for a 4000 lumen projector, remember that it is SXGA+ resolution, which makes up only a very small share of the market. SXGA+ projectors are all expensive, but if that's what you need...
Overall, the Canon Realis SX7 is an excellent projector and was well on its way to receiving our Hot Product Award, however, we found one serious flaw, that required rethinking. That flaw is in video processing, at least when fed a 1080p/24 video source through the digital input. Were it not for that issue, the Canon Realis SX7 would have easily picked up our Hot Product Award. As it is, I am contacting Canon, to discuss. If it turns out that the problem is with this unit, and they send another to verify, I'll revisit the award issue.
Highlights of the Canon Realis SX7
4000 plus lumens pack plenty of punch, even in large presentation spaces like hotel ballrooms. Invisible pixel structure, for smooth image
Quality of "out of the box" color performance varies, depending on mode selected and application
Power zoom and focus (including auto focus)
Digital input (DVI - compatible with HDMI)
Motion artifact is easily visible on fast moving videos from HDMI sources
Impressive 3 year parts and labor warranty
The 1.7:1 zoom lens is mounted on the left side of the SX7's front. Just to the left, is the infra-red sensor for the remote control. A button in the center of the front (down low) releases the single front drop down foot, (which is mounted back a couple of inches). One nice touch is that the Canon SX7 offers auto-focus.
On the top of the Canon SX7 projector, near the back, and on the left (if viewing from the rear), is the power switch, and right next to it, a button for the auto-setup function.
