A built-in 40GB hard disk drive offers extended, hassle-free recording & a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. Series highlights: 40GB hard disk drive, 60x optical / 2000x digital zoom, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with SteadyShot image stabilization, hybrid recording, 2.7" touch panel displayRecord those special occasions with the DCR-SR47 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 Duo media. Features:

  • 40GB hard disk drive: A built-in 40GB 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 SteadyShot 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 SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by camera shake.
  • Hybrid Recording to HDD or Memory Stick Duo 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 40GB hard disk drive or choose instead to record to removable Memory Stick PRO Duo 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.
  • 1/8” Advanced HAD CCD Imager: A 1/8” Advanced HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCD imager with 410K (effective) pixel resolution delivers stunning detail and clarity for exceptional video and still image performance.
  • Direct connection with DVD burner (sold separately): The DCR-SR47 supports a direct connection to the VRD-P1 DVD burner (sold separately), which allows you to burn DVDs directly from your camcorder without the need for a PC. And because the VRD-P1 is powered by your camcorder, you don't need an additional AC power cable.
  • 2.7” wide touch panel3 LCD display (123k pixels): The 2.7" wide touch panel3 LCD display provides exceptional viewing clarity with 123K pixels resolution. The display rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles, as well as provides sharp, detailed images for monitoring or playback. The convenient touch panel allows easy access to menus and additional functionality such as spot focus and spot metering.
  • Power On by opening LCD display: Power on your camcorder by simply opening the LCD display.
  • Built-in zoom microphone: The built-in zoom microphone focuses audio recording on your subjects with the camera's zoom lens, helping memories ring true with clear dialogue and crisp, discrete sounds.
  • Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software: Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites.
  • One Touch Disc Burn: Easily burn a DVD copy of your footage using the supplied PMB (Picture Motion Browser) software. Simply connect the camcorder to your compatible PC via a USB cable and press the One Touch Disc Burn Button.
  • Easy Handycam Button: Using a camcorder can be intimidating for some people. With a press of the Easy Handycam Button, most of the advanced features of the camcorder are "locked out," letting you focus only the buttons essential for recording.
  • Film Roll Index:Like chapters in a book, Film Roll Index helps you easily find desired scenes in video footage. When using this feature, the camcorder previews the beginning of scenes and can create scene indexes set at specified display intervals (3, 6, or 12 seconds and 1 or 5 minutes).
  • Face Index function:Face Index makes it easier than ever to find and play back the right video scene. Using Face Detection technology, Face Index indexes your video footage according to the faces detected in each scene. When it’s time to play back video, simply search for what you want by selecting from among the detected faces displayed in the index.
  • USB 2.0 interface:A USB 2.0 interface provides an easy way to connect your camcorder to a compatible PC for fast transfer of video and still images for editing.

"Wow was I disappointed! I did a great deal of homework before buying this camcorder, unfortunately I ignored most of that when I went to the store and saw this great sized camera that i THOUGHT would be just perfect for my needs. It was a breeze to charge, learn to start using, light to carry around, I thought I had a great pick. Even the still photos were fun to take and I did not care about this feature since ..."

"Use the product for my golf coaching. It's great to break the video into different files and easy to select which video you want.

Just one thing, it can't use as a webcam. So can't connect direct to your computer to capture pic which it will be another bonus for me. But overall, I love it "

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
