Another noteworthy feature is the innovative NightShot technology that allows users to capture footage in low-light conditions. This infrared mode is particularly useful for recording in dark environments, opening up opportunities for creative shooting scenarios. Additionally, both camcorders come equipped with a 2.7-inch LCD screen for easy framing and playback of video clips.

On the connectivity front, the DCR-SR67 and DCR-SR48 offer USB 2.0 ports for fast data transfer to computers, making sharing and editing footage straightforward.
