The HD picture quality outdoors (rain or shine) is PHENOMAL. I got a similar picture in SD. It wasn't quite as sharp as HD but still an EXCELLENT picture. The sound quality is amazing. I had no problem with wind noise when outside on windy days. The camcorder itself is lightweight and I found the menus and buttons to be user-friendly. I read several negative reviews on the included Sony software but had no trouble installing it or using it. It does have limited capabilities but it was sufficient for me. The camera itself does have a "divide" option for cutting video. You choose where you want to divide and it will create and save a new clip. It also has excellent focus capabilities. It focuses very quickly when zooming in and out as well as moving left/right and up/down. I was overly impressed with its performance outdoors. Shooting indoors took me back a few steps and it could be that I expect too much in lower-light...

When I got back, I watched the videos both using the mini-hdmi cable and also by putting the full size videos on a PS3 for native playback of AVCHD. In both cases, every so often, I would see a slowdown in the framerate. It would quickly recover but it was clear that the hard disk could not keep up with the data it was getting. I had the quality and size maxed out but that shouldn't matter. Calling Sony, they were very nice and offered to check it out but advised me to return it if I could. It might be my specific unit, or maybe a general product issue. I'm not sure. As far as quality, I don't think any of the cameras in this price range can provide good low light photography. What was nice was the NightShot which lets you take video in total darkness. It also has 5.1 Surround Sound it captures. Battery life was good. It feels like a good, solid, well built-camera. If it wasn't for...

Differences are notorious (as well as the prices). DCR-SR47 camera simple didn't covered my expectations in terms of video quality. However, the HDR-XR200V did fully covered them. I used the camera in outdoors, where video quality is just awesome. No pixeling, full colors, full of light in videos. The "not that good performance" will be in indoors under low light condition, or just in outdoors, but at night. Wherever there is low light, the cam will not perform as well as where is full natural light. The reason is obvious right? It is a $700 camera, not a professional $1500 one. I won't say the quality in low light conditions is as bad as an SD camera, but it just decrease a little bit. You will see some kind of "points" appearing here and there, and the definition of the shapes won't be that clear as in fully sunlight, but it is still VERY respectful the quality. I would suggest buying this camera for... Read more |
