Customer Reviews

Great Little Handycam
I love this camera. Bought as a replacement for my JVC which died suddenly I went for the HC47 on the basis of various reviews I've read. It's easy to operate, a good selection of features and if you buy the infoLithium battery you have up to five hours recording time available. The only let-down is filming in low light conditions, but I was aware of this when I purchased it and that's the only reason I have given it 4/5. I haven't tried to use the i.LINK, i download the movies via a USB cable and edit the films using Sony Vegas Movie Studio which is a dream to work with.

The only problem I have is that I can't put it down, it's just so much fun to use!

lovely camera but cant download films!!!!!
I bought this camera in May and again in August!!!! Why, because cant get the darn thing to download via IIlink to computer.

Amazon first class service, refunded no probs, but I really want this camera, or one that does work. We tried it on our computer, my brothers 3 computers and none of them could find the camera on the Ilink.

Reported it to Sony who advised us to download updates for software, which we had already done about 5 times all to no avail. So back it goes again. Fortunately my brother has made our films (daughters wedding!!) into DVD's for us through his canon. What shall we do, do we persevere and try again or just try a different camera. Also have bought loads of tapes and 2 extra betteries for this model.

Anyone else had this problem or know a solution?? Or recommend a different make and model .

P.S. Have now bought another one from local Sony centre (different batch obviously) and it is fine. Lovely camera, cant do better for price and Amazon provides a top class service.

Be careful when ordering this from Amazon!
The product may be Ok, but Amazon cannot deliver on it's Express delivery guarantee. I got an email at 3am the morning before expecting this to arrive by 1pm stating that they weren't able to ship the item. This is after having arranged for someone to stay in and take delivery! after all it is "guaranteed" and there were no apparent issues with my payment etc. right up until 11pm the night before.

It's then been a real struggle to get a refund or cancel the order once it's in the dispatch process.
