Product Description:
With a 1 megapixel CCD, the DCR-HC48 MiniDV Handycam camcorder captures every detail of every frame. And you'll get everything in the frame with the 25x optical/2000x digital zoom through the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens. The 2.7" wide hybrid touch panel LCD displays your video in vivid detail while allowing you to easily control the camcorder's features. You even have better control over your video clarity with Super SteadyShot image stabilization and Super NightShot Plus. And with the built-in Memory Stick Duo media slot and the supplied Handycam Station, it's quick and simple to share everything you've recorded.

Rating : - Good overall camcorder
This is a good all around mini-DV camcorder. The only problem I have seen is that, on playback, the color appears to be slightly washed out and not quite as bright as it looked in person. (I am using Sony tapes) It is easy to use and instruction manual is easy to follow.
