Sony DCR-SR47 
Amazingly Easy to Use,
Right out of the box this camera is very user friendly. I have never used or operated a digital camcorder and was using most of its functions within 15 minutes. The instructions are very easy to follow and well written. They also include very good pictures to let you know what to press. The touch screen on the LCD makes the camera extremely easy to use. The zoom is very stable and the steady shot feature really helps keep the picture from being too shaky. The 60 gig hard drive allows you to record anywhere from 15-45 hrs (depending on quality of video desired) which was a huge selling point for me because it doesn’t require buying 5-8 memory cards! It is incredibly light and easy to carry around with you as well. My only negative comment is that the record button isn’t reachable with your right hand when using the camera so you have to use your other hand to hit it. Not really a big deal, however. All in all, I must say hats off to Sony for making a quality camera for a reasonable price. More Information…
