Sony DCR-SR47 Hard Disk Drive Handycam® Camcorder (Blue) Review

This is compact enough to be worn while large enough to get a good grip.
The drive from 60 GB is enough, when you download the videos often.
The clarity is amazing outdoors as indoors and at night.
The only thing I like is the LCD must be used all the time!
Touch screen works well …. even my 4 years, this may, at its operation

Zoom is excellent!

looks good on tv but not on the computer – S. L. Curwin – Calgary, AB
I thought this camera was great when I made a video for my brother. easy to use, small, easy to understand enough to explore a bit 'with options of the camera. I want to take a view of portions every bit 'of time, it was on the TV screen, and looked like a normal home video and sound was good. I've had enough with the quality of television is expected to meet the same look on your computer. but when I transfer videos to your computer and edit, make the filmThey all looked very poor quality and grainy. Well, I have a high-definition screen on my computer, so I tried my laptop (which is just a regular old good qulity 3 years ago) and had the same results.

Overall I was satisfied 150%, until I saw the computer end of lead. and where are you going to save all your old videos, but on my computer? So if anyone has a solution for this problem, I know! And I save a lot of time and effort, and that would bring my way up reviewagain.

Worst video quality I have ever seen on a camcorder. – Ann Hunter – Tallahassee, Florida
One of the worst camera I've ever seen. This is simply not good enough for some of the best standard definition camcorder from Canon, and Certainly not as a competitive game compared to the really good HD cam out today. This camera video quality is probably the worst I've ever seen on a standard definition cam. The only thing clear and vivid on this camera are the reasons why you should not get.
The image is very soft and the colors are very washed out and under saturated. Thishave a 60 GB hard drive, but the video quality is not worth it. Also in HQ mode, the quality still seems wrong. A poor quality down from previous models Sony DCR-SR is a smaller CCD. Instead of the usual 6.1 "CCD, Sony decides to make smaller and reach a 1 / 8" CCD. Furthermore, his "Advanced HAD CCD, which supposedly gives better video quality from smaller CCD, but I see no difference. In low light, it is useless! If you are in a dark room lit up, the onlywhat you see is pitch pixels blacks and children dancing on the screen. The menus on this camera are difficult to navigate. Only a single function is really a turning Hassel. Actually, the only reason this camera sells for € 250 + is because it has the Sony name on it. I am confused with the camera settings to try for three months, the best video quality I like, but do not mix. After three months I finally disapointing video quality again. Innever buy a Sony camcorder. This is clearly not for the best camera.

Such a Bargain – Larry Hill – Newton, NJ USA
They have not had time to completely control exp in real life. But she still took advantage of bird watching, and it works very well. I love the fact that you can still go and film in the press of a button. The zoom works very well. I can not wait to use a trip in which I am entitled to a benefit a lot from all of its functions.
