Record those special occasions with the DCR-SR47 Handycam camcorder. A built-in 60GB 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.



Sony SR47 Handycam Highlights



60 GB hard disk drive

A built-in 60GB 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 60GB 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-inch Advanced HAD CCD Imager

A 1/8-inch 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-inch wide touch panel LCD display (123k pixels)

The 2.7-inch wide touch panel 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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with the hard disk also. Complete handycam with all accesseries box and all
Answer:	Hey RosemaryMc,Thanks for asking! Leather Milk should work fine for your rattlesnake skin handbag, aye. Just make sure you test it first in a discreet area to make sure it's the right fit, and I'd also recommend only using a small amount. Using too much oil can cause buildup underneath the scales and permit them to peel up overtime. A small amount should do excellently, however. Let me know how everything works - I'm eager to hear your thoughts.Daniel
Question:	Does this camera have nightshot
Answer:	If you are talking about Saddleback leather products, I own two for just over a year now: a wallet and a briefcase. Their products come in four colors: tobacco, chestnut, dark coffee brown and carbon. My products are in chestnut (tobacco is lighter, the others are darker) and they have not darkened in the last year.
Question:	Can You attach a microphone
Answer:	What I’ve done with my quality shoes and boots is this. I washed with a mild dishwashing detergent and cleaning all the stitching as well. With a non damaging nylon brush. I used saddle soap liberally each section of the shoe/boot and startling cleaning it with saddle soap and adding more if I needed it. Cleaned all of my boots this way. Rinse it off make sure that you get everything off. Wipe down the whole piece with a clean cotton rag and to absorb moisture and water from rinsing it(so important) then let it air dry until that you’re comfortable massaging Chamberlains no1 you’ll see the colors and shapes coming back.let dry from a few hours to days. Be patient cause this stuff does work awesome. With no gloves... feel your leather ... it will tell ya what it needs by feeling of it.
Question:	Does this camera have a microphone jack
Answer:	I don't see why it wouldn't, it's pretty good. You can always reach out to the company and ask, they are really fast to answer any question

Question:	Does the PMB software come with dcr-sr
Answer:	I do not use this sr68 very much.I lost the sony cd with the pmb software and never installed it on my laptop because I just record to the sd card . Today the sd cards are equal to the hard disks of old and so I just remove the sd card and use realplayer or media player to do the editing.If you prefer to use the sony pmb software then you can get it for free from Sony support.Today they are making a replacement software that is better than the old PMB one.It is a free download available since febuary of 2014.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have a sony handycam hdr cx7. where can i find a charging station
Answer:	Hello Deniece,Thank you for your inquiry. Our Leather Re-Coloring Balm is used to renovate the existing color of absorbent type leathers (i.e. leathers without a finish on them). To determine the absorbency of your leather, we ask to perform out Water Test. To do this, simply place one or two drops of water onto the surface of your leather. If the water beads up on the surface or rolls off, that indicates that you have a finish on your leather deeming it non-absorbent. If the water immediately absorbs into the leather, that indicates that you have an absorbent type leather. Our Leather Re-Coloring Balm will become 100% colorfast on absorbent type leathers.In regards to cleaning your leather before use, we highly recommend using our Leather Ultra Clean to clean your leather before applying our Leather Re-Coloring Balm. In regards to a deglazer, if you have a finish on your leather, you cannot remove the finish off your leather and then apply our Leather Re-Coloring Balm. If you have a finish on your leather, you would need alternative products for a non-absorbent type leather.If you need any further assistance, please contact us at our email [email protected],Furniture ClinicCustomer Service
Question:	Can i transfer movies from the hdd to the memory stick and transfer the movies to my computer? or do i need the dock and cd burning software
Answer:	YES! Just try to get color as close as you can to what you have or go darker. Works great... I always put on in a circular motion and let dry for an hour, then take a clean cloth (I used an old towel) and rub if off like your buffing a car. Then I wait another few hours and take another cloth and again rub. If you don't you may find that this color will get onto you clothing and stain. I have used this over and over again with that process and have never had a problem on my clothes. It takes time but well worth it. I almost threw away two leather chairs and now I have them in my library... Like new!
Question:	Do you need the docking station to upload videos to the computer? mine is missing the docking station and i want to upload my videos to youtube
Answer:	Hello,Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Leather Re-Coloring Balm which is a product used to renovate the existing color of absorbent type leathers i.e (leather without a finish on top). One jar of our Leather Re-Coloring Balm will restore color to a three piece set. If you need any further assistance, please contact us at our email [email protected],Furniture ClinicCustomer ServiceWe look forward to hearing from you.Best,Furniture ClinicCustomer Service

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made? no more ccp stuff for this household
Answer:	Really? Where have you been for the last 50 years? Damn near EVERY major American company manufacturers in China or uses parts made in China. Those Ford luxury cars (and most other luxury American car brands) that people are so envious of? MADE OVERSEAS. Most other American cars? Assembled out of parts manufactured in CHINA. xboxes, playstations, computers, iphones, android phones, board games, dice, radios, speaker systems, video cards, ram cards, motherboards, remote controls, our tvs, our batteries and power cords, our baking pans and plates bowls cups, 90% or our childrens toys, printers, cameras, modems, air conditioners, our food seasonings and herbs, the list is endless, ALL MADE IN CHINA OR ASSEMBLED IN CHINA OR ASSEMBLED IN THE USA WITH CHINESE PRODUCTS AND PARTS. Our major brand (SUNBEAM, HAMILTON BEACH, STANLEY, BLACK AND DECKER, FABERWARE, SONY, PIONEER, TECHNICS, KENMORE, RAY BAN, HUSH PUPPIES, ARROW CLOTHING, WOOLRICH, GILETTE, HUFFY, FISHER PRICE, CONVERSE, NIKE, LEVI, SCHWINN, RADIO FLYER, SAMSONITE, BRACHS, FENDER MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, DELL, HP, CRAFTSMAN, COLEMAN, FORD, CHEVROLET, AMERICAN GIRL, GERBER, UNDER ARMOUR, AND EVEN ALL OF THE TRUMP MAGA GEAR EXCEPT THE HATS AND LITERALLY 95% OF THE REST that if i were to type them all this would be 800 times longer than it already is). Name brand Toothpaste, soaps and shampoos, cleaning chemicals and supplies, Toasters, toaster ovens, microwaves, grills, griddles, vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops, towels, garbage bags, dvds, blu rays, dvd players, equalizers, amps, recievers, food storage containers, glassware, mixers, every other appliance in our homes? MADE IN CHINA. Why? Because our "capitalism" has been perverted to the point where it no longer has anything to do with Patriotism, America, or supporting American workers with living wages. Its about nothing but greed and filling the pockets of the most wealthy even fuller than they already are. The few brands that ARE all American cost so much that most of us couldnt even afford to buy them anyway. Like Kitchen Aid with even simple hand mixers costing up to 7 times more than other leading brands at 70-160 bucks instead of 20 Or 3-500 dollars for a table top mixer instead of 100.
Question:	Can I use this hard drive for backing up my PC for pictures, movies, excel, word files
Answer:	yes, it works just like a normal external harddrive, just more reliable and has a quicker read /write speed
Question:	Does it come with the necessary usb cable? lots of marketing blah-blah-blah but little useful information
Answer:	It should come with a 2-3 foot long cable 3.0 cable (B-type to A-type). I have yet to buy an external USB HDD or HDD enclosure without some kind of USB cable.
Question:	The press release for the P10 states it is USB 3.1 Gen 1 capable but it doesn’t advertise it in the current listing. Can anyone confirm this
Answer:	The USB Forum is confusing as hell. Are you ready? Okay: USB 3.0 is SuperSpeed, which would make it too easy to determine which USB is which, so of course they don't use that name. So it's called 3.0, except now it's not. 3.0 and 3.1 gen 1 are the same thing, same speed and all (5gbps). Then you have USB 3.1 gen 2. It's a genuine upgrade over gen 1 speed, but PSYCH! Name swap again! Now 3.1 is 3.2 gen 1, and 3.2 gen 2, and now there is a new one called 3.2 gen 2 by 2! It's maddening! Anyway, in summary, yes this drive is USB 3.0, or 3.1 gen 1, or 3.2 gen 1, whichever you wanna call it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the 2tb (st2000dm008) internal hard drive cmr or smr
Answer:	The 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB drives are all SMR, which means they are slow for random writes and not suitable as boot drives. (Google "Why SMR drives are sub-optimal for write-intensive workloads".)
Question:	Is this really 7200rpm? the model number suggests otherwise
Answer:	I got the ST4000DM004 which claims 7200 rpm on amazon and my computer is reporting it has a media rotation rate of 5425 rpm
Question:	Is a sata cable included in the package
Answer:	Cables not included. You can buy a SATA data cable and likely the appropriate power cable for your computer right here on Amazon. Depending on your power supply, the power cable may already be connected to it in your computer -- some have that and some do not.
Question:	Is this 7200 or 5400rpm
Answer:	Only the 1 TB (#ST1000DM010) and 2 TB (#ST2000DM008) models are 7200, all the larger models are 5400. Both the llisted speed and model number change in the product description as you pick different disk size options. This is consistent with Seagate's website -- From the home page, drill down through (or search for) Internal / Hard Drives / BarraCuda - Learn More, and then click the 3.5 inch models tab (NOT the 3.5 inch PRO models tab). Then click on the data sheet next to any model to get a PDF with a table containing all of the models along with their drive speeds and other specs..

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this drive smr if so i don't want it
Answer:	No, it’s not. All Ironwolf and Itonwolf pro drives are SMR free, according to Seagate
Question:	Does any one know a case where 3 could fit inside
Answer:	I have 3 of these in a Synology 4 bay NAS DiskStation DS918+ works great!
Question:	I purchased (2) 12-tb: anyone knows why i get 10.91-tb for each? why are we short
Answer:	manufacturer considers 1 Megabyte to be 1000 Kilobytes, 1 Gigabyte to be 1000 Megabytes, 1 Terabyte to be 1000 Gigabytes and so on. This is correct considering that kilo means 1000 and mega means 1000000 (10^6). However, computers calculate on base 2 and to them, 1 MB is actually 1024 kilobytes, 1GB is 1024MB and 1 TB is 1024GB. This difference in the method of computation is responsible for this "missing space." Let's take an example of a 500 GB hard disk. From a manufacturer's point of view, the 500GB will have 500*1000*1000*1000 = 500000000000 bytes. From a computer's point of view, 500GB is actually 500*1024*1024*1024 = 536870912000 bytes. So, a hard drive that promises to have 500 GB storage space will actually display 465.66GB, 536870912000-500000000000 = 36870912000 bytes (34.34GB) less storage space when connected to a computer. This is true of every drive you buy
Question:	Can this be used as a normal hdd storage drive for a desktop pc
Answer:	I have two NAS drives in my computer, and they work great. I bought two easystore external hard drives and removed the hard hard drives from the case. The hard drives are 5400 rpm drives. I only archive things on those drives, and they work great. The 7200 rpm drives are better for gaming but more expensive. The easystores only costed me $150. They also have a 256mb cache.
