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

DCR-IP220 - Good ergonomics, but unproven tape format

bydougb59 Nov 17, 2002

10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls

Pros Small size. Good ergonomics. Screen on back. Still photos. Compact tapes & batteries.

Cons Expensive. MicroMV format may or may not equal MiniDV. Lens could be more wide-angle.

Recommended it? Yes

I wound up buying the new DCR-IP220 just before leaving for a vacation that included a few days visiting historical sites in the gloomy midwestern U.S. (Missouri and Illinois), and a week on sunny Grand Cayman in the Caribbean.

Overall, I'm pleased with the camcorder, but bear in mind... Read full review »

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

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 »
