It performs quite well and the 16x9 images are perfect for flat panel TVs. I like the software provided with it. It allows effortless transfer of files from the camcorder to your computer, and easy (if somewhat plain) video DVD creation. I have not tried editing functionality, but it seems to me that specialty video editing software would be better in any case. from Amazon.com This Handycam has everything needed to be the most versatile of all of Sony's models with up-to-the-minute technology. I originally hesitated because this only has an internal flash memory of 16 GB. from Amazon.com I originally bout the 650 because I thought it had an internal memory but it doesn't. It returned it back to the store and spent an extra $50 to get the 850. Not only does it have the internal memory but it also records in 5.1 surround. from Amazon.com BUT the disks are only an hour on extended play even and thats it (from what I know)... So the use of Disks is in my mind a dieing breed; just not worth it. I thought, take it easy on the camera and let the disk transfer over to VCR (via my DVD/VCR machine) but all you get is an hour (extended play) on a disk. And keep in mind any and all cameras can hook up at least RCA cables (red, yellow, white) to your machine... from Amazon.com WHAT A WONDERFUL CAMERA,EASY TO USE,GREAT PICTURE QUALITY,NICE TO HAVE THE DVD AND MEMORY CARD. from Amazon.com it is slightly larger than the (very compact) dcr 47-87 series.sony dcr-sr47 hard disk drive handycam camcorder (silver) however, it will still almost fit in the palm of your hand. from Amazon.com the camcorder must do a good job of adjusting for fast motion or shaking because it didn't make us sick watching the video. from Amazon.com it allows effortless transfer of files from the camcorder to your computer, and easy (if somewhat plain) video dvd creation. from Amazon.com to anyone looking for a user-friendly and affordable camcorder, i highly recommend this one. from Amazon.com i use this camcorder for recording night youth football games under lights, for the most part. from Amazon.com
