The Sony DCR-SR47E Handycam Camcorder has a built-in 60GB hard disk drive which 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. This camcorder supports a direct connection with the VRD-P1 DVDirect 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. Capture audio the way it's heard in real life-from all around you. This camcorder supports 5.1 channels of surround sound so that playback on your home theater will sound as realistic as possible. The built-in zoom mic records the audio of your faraway subject as you zoom in on them. Less

Small but Mighty & Wide Screen too

Pros Wide Screen Camcorder in an easy to handle package.
Cons The most useful cable is noticeably missing.
Recommended it? Yes

Sometimes you decide that you need something and you don't always have a good reason why you NEED it. For me this was one of those cases. It has been several years since I have owned a traditional camcorder. My last one died probably 7 years ago and I just never gotten around to replacing it,... Read full review »

Cons LED light doesn't do much for low light.
Recommended it? Yes

We used to have an old 8mm Sony camcorder, which worked great for our oldest boy, but with a new baby on the way, we wanted something that would seamlessly communicate with our DVD burner so we could share our movies with family members who live far away and won't get to see him grow up.

I got this camera as a holiday present from my family.  I have been using one of the early FLIP cameras until now and this Sony DCS-SR47 camcorder is a great upgrade.  
The camera produces good quality video. In no time I was recording gift exchanges, children's playing sketches and... Read full review »

Super little camcorder

Pros lightweight easy to use.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

This thing is so light, you will be surprised.  I had used an older camcorder and would get cramps holding it up while taping.  Not with this.  It's a snap.  The menu is pretty simple to follow.  The rotating view finder makes it easy to shoot at any angle. Read full review »
