Light and compact:

The Sony DCRSR37ES Handycam being an entry level model of the DCR SR series, still managed to pull up a very light, compact and stylish camcorder. It comes in quite attractive aluminum like silver and matte black finish, with the sliver part dominating the finishing. It has a 2.7? hybrid LCD display which is touch-sensitive too. Being extremely compact, it is suitable for any kind of environment. The physical controls of the camcorder are of textbook design with the start and stop buttons being at the back and the zoom rocker up in the front of the shutter release for the snapshots in photo mode. The hand strap is comfortable, but we feel that it is a little low and since the HDD camcorders have become so light, there is barely a bump encasing it, making the camcorder's body, mostly the lens.

Clear audio

The audio is quite clear with Sony's super smart microphone. It eliminates the background noise and all the other off camera noises to the maximum when you are focused on your subject.

Smart automatic functions

Now you can make sure that even the trickiest scenes look great, thanks to auto functions which take the guesswork out of matching settings to subject. Take sun-drenched backlit scenes, for example. The D-range Optimizer adjusts exposure and contrast to counter the effects of high-contrast conditions, so you can clearly see faces in the foreground. And when faces are your focus, Face Detection adjusts the camera's settings to deliver clear, natural skin tones.

SteadyShot Active Mode to reduce picture blur

If you are shooting with the camera in your hand, there is always a danger of camera shake spoiling your picture, even if your subject is stationary. Steady Shot is a handy digital image stabilizer that is active every time you shoot. This is especially important when using the powerful zoom to close in on details. The SR37 lets you hear in close up too. The SR37 lets you record sound in close-up too. Its super smart mic zooms in with your optical zoom to cut out background and foreground noise and concentrate on sounds that matter, such as conversation.

Start fast so you don't miss the moment

Great action can come and go very quickly so you don't want to waste valuable time starting up your camera. Start the SR37 in a matter of seconds: just flip open the LCD screen, touch the start key and you're ready to shoot. Later, the Face Index function automatically detects scenes with faces, and the handy Film Roll Index feature summarizes long scenes, to make it easier to browse through hours of footage.

Battery

A fully charged battery of DCRSR37ES camcorder will give you about 11.5 hours of life. But if you are switching on and off continuously, this rate will reduce considerably. Since the stand-by battery drain is very low, you can always be ready to catch that special moment.
