I already have an identical Camcorder to this one, unfortunately many years of consistant use, the FireWire port has now given up altogether. The USB Port had never workd since I purchased it in 2004. For the FirWire port issues, it has been sent to SONY (UK) for repairs @ £175.00 each time. But now, I don't want to send it to them for the 3rd time. So, I was really pleased to have spotted an identical model on ebay, and was happy to pay the asking price, as it was looked after reasonably well. The quality is the main reason for this price - it beats most modern ones hands down. Really pleased with it. Would buy another, if available, but this model was not marketed well in the UK. I bought the original whilst on holiday in Karachi (Pakistan).
Although tape digital recording seems to have been superceded by solid state you will be hard pressed to find a camera with such a good build quality and facilities as this nowadays. Forget that it has a little tape inside that records your digital signal, the quality of picture is superb. You can make this camera sing and dance it has so many extras including a great zoom, night shots, lots of cool digital effects and it is so easy to use (once you have read the essential manual). I have reverted to using one of these again as I just find it so user friendly!
It’s doing the job I need it to do which is transferring , 1st class ...

The sony handcam is a good camera and even though these days its hard and rare to find a proper working one. so you must prepared to send one back if you buy, because no matter how new the outside appearance, the camera can rewind and fast forward but will not play to see picture. Good luck if you find a working one :-)
I love this old school camera, the ability to record onto mini dv tape enables me to preserve my edited videos. It may not be the most advanced camera on the market but it meets all the requirements for making high quality videos at a budget price.
