DCR-SR87, DCR-SR67 and DCR-SR47

Tweet

Sony launched three new camcorders at the CES – the DCR-SR47, the DCR-SR67, and the DCR-SR87. These standard definition HDD camcorders are supplanting the old DVD- and tape-based camcorders. All three camcorders have a 60x optical zoom, a microphone zoom and you can edit video on the camcorder using the Sony eDeco technology.

The DCR-SR47 comes with a 60GB hard-drive whereas both the DCR-SR67 and DCR-SR87, have 80GB hard-drives. The DCR-SR87 has a 1-megapixel CCD image sensor and it records using Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. You will be able to burn and archive the videos using Sony’s DVDirect Express burner. With all three camcorders the 2.7-inch wide aspect fold-out touchscreen lets you control the video shooting. The Sony Super SteadyShot image stabilization is also common to all three camcorders.

The three models essentially are an improvement on the following models released last year – SR45, SR65, and SR85. The Sony DCR-SR87, DCR-SR67 and DCR-SR47 Handycam video recorders will hit the markets next month and cost $500, $450 and $400, respectively.
