Record those special occasions with the DCR-SR47/R Handycam® camcorder. A built-in 40GB hard disk drive offers extended, hassle-free recording and a professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens delivers sharp, high resolution images. For close-ups, you will appreciate a powerful 60x optical zoom. Hybrid technology even allows you to record video to the hard drive or optional Memory Stick DuoTM media.

60GB hard disk drive :
A built-in 60GB1 hard disk drive can record and store up to almost 45 hours of video footage in LP mode, or up to almost 15 hours in HQ mode. In addition, “HDD Smart Protection” gives you peace of mind by preventing any recorded video and images from being lost if the camcorder is accidentally dropped.

60X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom :
Ideal for sporting events, wildlife, or distance shooting, 60X optical zoom brings you closer to the action, so you can capture extremely tight shots, even from far away. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming (up to 2000X) is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.

Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens with SteadyShotTM image stabilization :
The DCR-SR47 features a professional-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens designed specifically for compact camcorders. Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast of larger lenses, and SteadyShotTM image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by camera shake.

Hybrid Recording to HDD or Memory Stick DuoTM media :
Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility of capturing and transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices. Record to 60GB1 hard disk drive or choose instead to record to removable Memory Stick PRO DuoTM media (sold separately). You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video or still images from the HDD to the Memory Stick® media — without using a PC.

   I got this knowing Sony and how they make good products, but this just isn’t good enough to match some of the better standard def camcorders like from Canon, and certanly is NO competition compared to the really good high def cams out today. This camera’s video quality is probably the worst i’ve seen on a standard def cam.

   The picture is very soft and the colors are very washed-out and under saturated. It does have a 60 gig hard drive, but it’s video quality isn’t worth it. Even on HQ mode picture still looks terrible. One extremely bad down grade from Sony’s previous DCR-SR models is a smaller CCD. Instead of the usual 1/6″ CCD, Sony decides to make it smaller and change it to a 1/8″ CCD. They also claim that its an “ADVANCED HAD CCD” which supposedly gets you better video quality out of smaller CCDs, but to me, I see no difference. In low light, this thing is useless! If you go into a dim lit room the only thing you will see is pitch black and little pixels dancing around on the screen. The menues on this camera are hard to navigate through. Just to turn on one function is really a hassel. To tell you the truth, the only reason this camera sells for $250+ is because it has the name Sony on it. If it had the name Aiptek on it, but with all the same specs, it would sell for about $70. This is not the best camera to get.

   This is compact enough to carry around and at the same time big enough to get a good grip.

   The 60 GB HDD is enough as I download the videos often.

   The clarity is amazing in outdoors as well as indoors and even at night.

   The only thing I do not like is, the LCD must be used all the times!

   Touch screen works well….even my 4 yr old can operate this on his own

   Zoom is excellent!

   Haven’t had the time to totally check out in true life exp. yet but have used it bird watching and it is working very well. love the fact that you can switch between still and movie at the touch of a button. The zoom works very well also. Can’t wait to take a trip where I can really take advantage of all it’s features.

   The movie option on this camera is easy to use and the quality of the movie is great but use another digital camera for your pictures because the still pictures come out grainy.
