Very happy with my Sony DCR-HC48 1MP !!! ***** March 22, 2007
15 out of 16 found this review helpful

Purchased this for my husband - we are both happy with the Camcorder. We originally bought a Panasonic upon a friend's recommendation - NOT HAPPY WITH PANASONIC! Compared to the Panasonic, the Sony is far more superior: easier to use, lighter, and most importantly - MUCH BETTER PICTURE QUALITY AND IMAGE STABILIZATION FEATURE.

Accessory filter size March 16, 2007
11 out of 13 found this review helpful

For those wishing to purchase this product, and who also want accessory filters to protect the lens, or to add special effects, although not mentioned, the size of the filter is 30mm. (NOT the 37 mm mentioned at other locations, which caused me to order the wrong size which now must be returned.)

Remember, 30 (thirty) mm.

Amazing Sound/Video quality - Like No Other - Sony February 23, 2007
47 out of 50 found this review helpful

my skill level: beginner

I picked up the latest Canon ZR800 from a local store and tried some shooting with it, since there were no reviews of that latest model - but i was totally disappointed with the quality - video had granulation & the worst part was - it has a motor noise which gets dubbed on the tape :(

so i ordered this Sony HC48 & i am really really impressed with the performace, great video quality (no granulation) & sound too. As some of you are curious, it has infrared light which is great plus point for shooting in night time. Infact, when i tried shooting in dark with the NightShot Plus turned on and i tried to put my hand in front of the infrared light, I could see a patch of light on my hand, i was really thrilled by that, seeing its actually a light coming out of the camera. Ofcourse you probably need to use a tripod to shoot in night light for better stability.

Also, it has various other features/modes that i didnt notice in canon. for instance, it has a color mode to bring out colors more effectively in low light, a shooting mode to capture minute objects like insects etc..
I am glad i returned the Canon ZR800 and bought this one

Camera phenomenal; Sony lousy February 18, 2007
50 out of 60 found this review helpful

I hope to give a more in depth review later, but wanted to be sure to make it clear to everyone that a Firewire cable (the so-called iLink) is not included with this product.

The camera itself is intuitive and easy to use out of the box but also highly customizable. The video and sound quality are excellent, and the LCD screen is gorgeous and uses touch screen buttons in addition to the button bar beneath it. But Sony has a way of making fantastic products and then alienating the purchasers of those products (a la the PS3). So understand that in order to do the very basic and essential task of transferring your DV images to your computer requires you to shell out $35-70 more to buy a Firewire cable. The provided USB cable is for transferring stills from the Memory Stick only. Thus, this camera can only receive 4 stars due to Sony's cheap skate approach. Caveat emptor...
