It features hybrid movie recording to the 8 GB memory and Memory Stick Duo media for increased flexibility. The DCR-SX41 is designed with a 2.7" touch LCD screen that rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles. The camcorder includes a professional Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens for 60x optical and 2000x digital zoom. It also includes a 1/8" advanced HAD CCD imager for crisp video and still images and can be connected directly to Sony's VRD-P1 DVD writer to burn DVDs without the need of a computer. The DCR-SX41 has a built-in zoom microphone to add realistic sound to the footage. The camcorder is available in silver, red, or blue, and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.

JonnyWonderful:
#sony_handycam_dcr_sx41 Video is highly compressed MPEG2, may not be optimal for editing.
I also had trouble with Adobe Premiere Pro recognizing the audio because it was recorded in Dolby, I don't know if this is an isolated problem but I've seen forums where other people have had this issue with this camcorder.
