Customer Review: 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!
Customer Review: 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.

The Sanyo Xacti CG6 incorporates a richly detailed 6.37 Megapixel CCD and Sanyo’s proprietary image-adaptive data processing technology. This ensures low noise in dark areas, as well as more beautiful realization of skin colors. A high-powered 5x optical zoom lens lets you get up close and personal with your subject, even more so if you pair it with the 12x digital zoom.
Customer Review: Compact - pocket sized camcorder.
I purchased this model for use on my field trips and interviews in the Amazon Rainforest and the Philippines. It fits in your pocket, and with the removeable SD cards you can have as much storage as you want. It does what it says on the box. It also takes reasonable quality still shots. All in all it’s compact size makes it a winner in my book (which is the reason I bought it). The only gripe is that the battery only lasts an hour (about 1GB of ‘footage’) before needing a re-charge, however I bought some spare batteries which are not expensive (on amazon.co.uk). Also it plugs into the PC via a USB or just use the SD card and you can watch your videos and stills rightaway.
Customer Review: Great little package
The first thing that hits you about this camera is the size. It is tiny, almost too small! After you have got used to its size it is surprisingly easy to use, initally there is a tendancy to hook your fungures around the top near the lens but you get used to the shape quickly. The controls are very easy to use one handed, my son has already created videos while commando crawling around. The quality is easily sufficient for my purposes and well up the the DV camera and better than the Hi8 camera I have had before. Not sure about the longevity of the battery jet because there has been a lot of playback but I managed to get a second for ?6 anyway. The only minus points I can find in the short time I have owned it are…. 1) The bundled software is poor, even just a patch so you can view in Windows Media Player would have been good, you have to install Quicktime to just view the movies 2) When you take advantage of the facility to take a still while videoing you get a pause in the video action but not the sound, then the picture jumps back to video. 3) The lens cap is really fiddily to get off. A filter thread would remove the need for a cap. All in all well worth the money, scary to think I paid ?800 for a Hi8 camera 16 years ago!
