Can i use this accessory with my Sony DCR SR47 even though it does not have night shot?

will this make shooting in dark conditions better with my camera or will it have no effect?

Answer
To prevent IR from being an issue with the sensors in digital cameras and camcorders it is normally deliberately blocked. Hence if your camera does not have Sony's NightShot(r) mode the device will have no effect on your low light photos and videos.

Will this lens give me better picture quality on my sony dcr sr47?

Answer
Iridflare is correct adding a lens will not improve much - but since you did not tell us what is wrong with the video quality, it is difficult to know what you might try to improve it.

The DCR-SR47 is a hard disc drive camcorder that can capture compressed MPEG2 video to the hard drive. The menu system in the camcorder - accessed using the LCD panel touchscreen - has a selection on "video quality". If that is set to low so the camcorder can record longer, then video will be poor. Set the video quality to highest quality available, don't move the camera when you are capturing video, shoot under good lighting conditions... and it *should* provide you with OK video... nothing to sell to Hollywood, but "good enough" for many.

Read the manual - it has instructions on selecting the video quality.

Use a tripod or other steadying device, even a chair or table or the floor, and limit the video captured when hand-held. Turn on the lights or use a flashlight or video light.
