Sony DCR-SR37ES
The Sony DCR-SR37ES camcorder is a great feather-light video camera. The camcorder comes with an in-built 60 GB storage that will allow you to record up to 45 hours of video. This is great step forward leaving videotapes and disks behind. The memory storage feature allows you to quickly scan through the recorded media and delete and edit the material right on the go, which is not possible at all with tapes. Besides the hard-drive is far safer than a tape/disk so you can be rest assured that your important footage will never be lost. There are two special features to let you scroll through the footage fast- Face Index and Film Roll Index.
TH equality of recorded movies is outstanding due to 1MP-advanced HAD CCD. The technology works by placing a tiny lens on each pixel so that light is focused more intensely. This also results in less colour noise and a far better image quality. To view the recorded video you can use the 2.7 inch wide-screen LCD. With an advanced feature called SteadyShot optical stabilisation feature you can rest assured that your shots will be steady even in non-ideal conditions. Apart from having a zoom lens system the camcorder comes with an onboard zoom microphone that picks up spoken dialogues and cancels out background noise. The lens is a quality Carl-Zeiss with a zoom system with 60x optical zoom and 2000x digital zoom.
With great power comes greater responsibility, they say. With such an advanced zoom system most camcorders will have to address the image stability issue. Well, you are always advised to use a tripod whenever you can. But DCR-SR37ES gives you an advanced feature to take care of the problem. There is an onboard SteadyShot image stabiliser. So you can zoom in and out with no little worries about that shaky footage with a plethora of background noise.
Now what will you do with your recorded media if you can’t share it. DCRSR37ES comes packed with options to let you share your media. You can easily upload the images and video to your PC via a supplied USB cable. Once on the PC you can burn a DVD or simply watch it from your PC. There are of course DVD burners available in the market that will let you connect directly to the camcorder to let you burn a disc in no time.
When you start to record and save a lot of movies on your PC, you’ll need a way to properly organise those videos. You’ll also require options to edit and save them in different formats for further use. The supplied software does all that for you. The software will you organise your personal library like a pro. Searching and viewing later will be easier than ever.
Overall this is a nice little camcorder with all the features that need. The price tag is pretty good and this Christmas you’re sure to find a lot of deals flying around. So go get your Sony DCR SR37ES camcorder to shoot your new year in style.
