Sony DCR-SR47 Hard Disk Drive Handycam® Camcorder
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 camera is ok, it could be much better because its SONY ….other than that its cute, very small and handy.
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.
No remote zoom, but great zoom range and excellent focus on moving objects. Great picture.
