Where In Toronto I Can Buy An Hd Hard Drive Sony Camcorder That Works In Europ And The Middle East? Any Ideas?

Hi Sam
Whenever I go to Toronto, I always go to Vistek. They have very knowledgeable salespersons there. There are several stores, the main one is over at 496 Queen Street East. Their other store is over at 5840 Mavis which is close to the airport.

Product Description

Capture the perfect shot with the Sony DCR-SR47 Handycam camcorder. A built-in 60GB1 hard disk drive offers extended, hassle-free recording and a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens delivers sharp, high resolution images and a powerful 60x optical zoom. Hybrid technology even allows you to record video to the hard drive or optional Memory Stick Duo media.

60GB hard disk drive: A built-in 60GB1 hard disk drive can record and store up to almost 45 hours of video footage in LP mode, or up to almost 15 hours in HQ mode. In addition, HDD Smart Protection gives you peace of mind by preventing any recorded video and images from being lost if the camcorder is accidentally dropped.
60X Optical / 2000X Digital Zoom: Ideal for sporting events, wildlife, or distance shooting, 60X optical zoom brings you closer to the action, so you can capture extremely tight shots, even from far away. In addition, Digital Zoom Interpolation means that extreme digital zooming (up to 2000X) is clearer, with less distortion than previous types of digital zooms.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with SteadyShot image stabilization: The DCR-SR47 features a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens designed specifically for compact camcorders. Precision ground optics help maintain the sharpness and contrast of larger lenses, and SteadyShot image stabilization helps reduce blur caused by camera shake.
Hybrid Recording to HDD or Memory Stick Duo media: Hybrid recording technology delivers a new level of flexibility of capturing and transferring your video footage and digital photos from the camcorder to compatible viewing devices. Record to 60GB1 hard disk drive or choose instead to record to removable Memory Stick PRO Duo media (sold separately). You can even select from various dubbing functions to easily copy video or still images from the HDD to the Memory Stick media -- without using a PC.
1/8 Advanced HAD CCD Imager: A 1/8

Reviewer: Larry Hill, Newton, NJ USA

Haven't had the time to totally check out in true life exp. yet but have used it bird watching and it is working very well. love the fact that you can switch between still and movie at the touch of a button. The zoom works very well also. Can't wait to take a trip where I can really take advantage of all it's features.

The movie option on this camera is easy to use and the quality of the movie is great but use another digital camera for your pictures because the still pictures come out grainy.

Great little camera

Really good video camera. It powers up quick. Easy to use. Very good video quality, not HD though but I knew that before purchasing. The low light video quality is not great but is still decent.

Great Value Purchase

Is There A Camcorder In Which I Can Plug An External Hard Drive?

I want to plug an external hard drive directly to the camcorder without using a computer. That is because I am planning to film outdoors (hiking, expeditions, camping, etc.) for long periods of time and I won’t have a PC near me.

Looking To Buy A Sony Hard Disc Camcorder For A Low Budget Documentary?

I am looking to buy a Sony Camcorder for a documentary which i am currently planning to do.
It can be HD or normal, but i am not willing to spent no more than £400.
It has to be Sony and it has to record audio aswell (interviews, nature sounds etc).
Hard drive 40GB, 60Gb or more (not an issue)
Thanks a lot
Tony
