The Handycam DCR-SR47 is Sonys entry-level hard-drive-based standard-definition camcorder. The main attractions are its small size, large storage capacity, and megazoom lens. Its also fairly easy to use partly because of the touch-screen-based menu navigation and partly because of its dearth of shooting options. However, as with most camcorders in its class, the video results are mediocre--especially if youre watching them full screen on a large HDTV or are used to the detail of high-definition content.
