Movies play on other media players but on Windows Media Player there is no sound. I called Sony and they said that it was "Microsoft's problem", but I disagree, it is their CUSTOMER'S PROBLEM and they refused to help. Stay clear of this quirky pos. from Amazon.com this camcorder is easy to use and adaptable for any age group only problem is they donot provide night mode of shooting using infrared technology which is unique to sony products. from Amazon.com So far this has been a great camcorder and it is so easy to use. I did a ton of research on all the models of hard drive camcorders and decided to stick with the Sony brand. I am not disappointed and this Sony camcorder has delivered. from Amazon.com I was simply filming, and the hard drive went under. Troubleshooting through the manual and through Sony tech support came up with the same result: send it in to the Sony shop. from Amazon.com I went around looking for a nice video camera for years and years... Always finding great options, but always away from the possibility of affording for one of them. Sony DCR-SR47 is the a dream came true for me. A great camera for a great price. from Amazon.com I have found this Sony very easy to use. The picture and sound quality are quite good. from Amazon.com The DCR-SR47 is my first camcorder. I wanted a camcorder with plenty of storage and extra zoom capability for a land/sea cruise to Alaska. from Amazon.com It is not worth the money. We do not recommend this product at all. We have a 9 year old Sony DCR-TRV320 which has served us well and the picture quality is better still than this new camcorder. from Amazon.com I recorded 400 different videos from my daughter's first cry to her 1st birthday. I cannot get the recorded videos to play back from any software other than Sony's proprietary software. Sony's tech support states to "I'm sorry for the difficulties, here is a link describing why Sony's videos won't play back on Windows Media Software" from Amazon.com I bought a SR45 5 months back for my sister and it was good value for money. Then i bought this new model (SR47) for myself and i simply love it. from Amazon.com
