Product Description
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.

Movies play on other media players but on Windows Media Player there is no sound. I called Sony and they said that it was “Microsoft’s problem”, but I disagree, it is their CUSTOMER’S PROBLEM and they refused to help. Stay clear of this quirky pos.

Very compact and easy to use. I haven’t taken the video OFF of the camera yet, but am hoping it’s as easy as recording with this camera!

The missus bought it, and I have used it, and downloaded the videos. The colors are washed out. Doesn’t seem to excel at any one task. Indoor looks washed out, outdoor same.
If you do purchase the camera, buy a second battery, and maybe even a third, you will need them.
We use to have a regular/tape video camera, and the image quality and colors on it were far & away superior to what this camera offers. I don’t know, something about new technology should provide superior performance than a camera that was 12 years old.
Oh well, it was the missus that threw her money away on this one.
