Capture the perfect shot with the Sony® DCR-SR47 Handycam® camcorder, which features a powerful 60x optical zoom lens and a built-in 60GB1 hard disk drive for extended, hassle-free recording.

60GB hard disk drive:

Abuilt-in 60GB1 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.
