Released as part of the Handycam series, these models emphasize convenience, ease of use, and advanced technology, making them popular choices among users who need reliable handheld recording devices.

The DCR-SR67 boasts a built-in 30 GB hard drive, allowing for ample storage capacity for hours of high-quality video footage. This model supports a maximum recording time of approximately 20 hours in standard mode. In contrast, the DCR-SR48 features a slightly smaller 40 GB hard drive, providing an extended recording time.

The lenses feature a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar design, known for producing sharp, high-contrast visuals. They also incorporate optical image stabilization (OIS) to minimize shake during handheld recording, further enhancing the overall video quality.

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. An AV output allows for connection to televisions and external displays for immediate playback. These camcorders also support Memory Stick Duo, providing an additional storage option for users who want to extend capacity.

In summary, the Sony DCR-SR67 and DCR-SR48 are compact and capable camcorders, featuring substantial internal storage, advanced imaging technologies, and user-friendly interfaces.
