5 Reviews for Sony DCR-HC47 Handycam Mini Dv Camcorder With 2.7'' LCD Screen
Great Little Handycam - 02 Sep 2007
9 out of 9 found this review helpful.
I love this camera. Bought as a replacement for my JVC which died suddenly I went for the HC47 on the basis of various reviews I've read. It's easy to operate, a good selection of features and if you buy the infoLithium battery you have up to five hours recording time available. The only let-down is filming in low light conditions, but I was aware of this when I purchased it and that's the only reason I have given it 4/5. I haven't tried to use the i.LINK, i download the movies via a USB cable and edit the films using Sony Vegas Movie Studio which is a dream to work with.
The only problem I have is that I can't put it down, it's just so much fun to use!
lovely camera but cant download films!!!!! - 20 Aug 2007

I bought this camera in May and again in August!!!! Why, because cant get the darn thing to download via IIlink to computer.
Amazon first class service, refunded no probs, but I really want this camera, or one that does work. We tried it on our computer, my brothers 3 computers and none of them could find the camera on the Ilink.
Reported it to Sony who advised us to download updates for software, which we had already done about 5 times all to no avail. So back it goes again. Fortunately my brother has made our films (daughters wedding!!) into DVD's for us through his canon. What shall we do, do we persevere and try again or just try a different camera. Also have bought loads of tapes and 2 extra betteries for this model.
Anyone else had this problem or know a solution?? Or recommend a different make and model .
P.S. Have now bought another one from local Sony centre (different batch obviously) and it is fine. Lovely camera, cant do better for price and Amazon provides a top class service.

The product may be Ok, but Amazon cannot deliver on it's Express delivery guarantee. I got an email at 3am the morning before expecting this to arrive by 1pm stating that they weren't able to ship the item. This is after having arranged for someone to stay in and take delivery! after all it is "guaranteed" and there were no apparent issues with my payment etc. right up until 11pm the night before.
It's then been a real struggle to get a refund or cancel the order once it's in the dispatch process.
Good value camcorder(so far).... - 04 Jul 2007

Wanted a replacement for my old Panasonic mini-dv camcorder,which was falling apart after 4 years of hard use.Shopped around and decided against the dvd versions(because not sure of reliability)and hard-drive models(no colour view-finder,why not?).
Bought this model for £239 delivered,which still is a bargain,especially for a 1 meg version.
So far impressed with the unit,although I feel the batteries are a rip off if bought in the UK,try US web-sites,maybe there is a bargain to be had as the prices quoted in dollars are half the price of the UK quoted prices.
Also it's a shame the software to transfer to a PC is very basic.
It's still a good bit of kit despite those two little niggles and would recommend the camcorder to anyone.
Great camcorder - 16 Jun 2007

Just got this camcorder, my first, and am very impressed so far. Picture quality is great in sunlight and indoors with good lighting, not bad in low light certainly as good as would be expected. Detail on 25x zoom is incredibly clear. Handycam station is great as just slot it in and you can charge and transfer to computer via firewire (need to buy firewire cable separately). I've got a mac and transfers to imovie no problems, have to fiddle with the settings to get imovie to import video in widescreen but burnt my first dvd within a few hours of having camcorder. Plugs into my sony LCD with supplied cable and can watch the videos straight back. Touch screen LCD is easy to use. Went for miniDV format after some research as best quality at present and easiest to edit, for £250 is great value and will last a couple of years until high def and HDD camcroders are cheaper.
