About this product

Product Information

Sony's DCR-TRV320 is two cameras in one. It records digital video on affordable Digital 8 cassettes and it captures digital still images on versatile Memory Stick media. Built-in Digital Still Camera with Memory Stick allows you to store still images in digital format at 640x480 resolution in Sony's new Memory Stick memory. Digital 8 Achieves stunning picture quality, with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution and records high quality 12-bit digital stereo audio.SteadyShot Picture Stabilization Another thing you don't need to worry about is holding the camcorder perfectly still. Sony's SteadyShot system uses sophisticated motion sensors to remove unwanted picture shake. 12-bit/16-bit PCM Digital Stereo Audio Recording offers a choice of either a single 16-bit/48kHz stereo audio track for DAT-quality recording, or two 12-bit/32kHz stereo tracks for CD sound quality. To make sure you get the maximum benefit from each charge, Sony's InfoLithium batteries have no life-shortening "memory effect." To keep you informed of remaining power, Sony's AccuPower meter spells out remaining battery time in minutes on the camcorder's LCD Monitor or Viewfinder. Super NightShot enables you to shoot subjects up to 3 meters away in total darkness. That's why Sony cut power consumption and extended battery life. Control L (LANC) provides two-way communication between the camcorder and other video devices. Six Mode Program AE provides quick and easy setting for the proper exposure, shutter, and depth of field setting for a variety of environments. There are six modes: Portrait, Beach/Ski, Sports Lesson, Landscape, Spotlight, and Sunset/Moon. Forget about cables, wires and adapters. Sony's Super LaserLink system uses infrared light to make a wireless connection from your camcorder to your television. Just use the transmitter in that is built-in to the camcorder together with the optional receiver. The Super LaserLink System features a transmission range up to 8 meters.

  • Handy for dubbing old Hi8 tapes.

    Handy for dubbing old HI8 tapes to DVD or import to computer. Has a DV output (special cable) useful for best image transfer to DVD recorders. Also has R/W/Y output (via 4-conductor mini-plug) and S-VIDEO output. Easy to use even without remote. Will need battery charger, but many Sony handycams use the same style and voltage and plug chargers, so you might already have one. I bought this camera as a backup to the one I already have, for if/when mine gives up the ghost.

  • Great 8mm Video Transfer Camcorder

    My 8mm video recorder died sometime in the last 20 years, so I needed something to transfer the 8mm tapes to digital files. I could have bought a regular 8mm camcorder, and a video digitizer, but by buying an 8mm digital camcorder, I didn't need the digitizer. Using the Sony software, available online, I can transfer videos directly to a PC via firewire, and use other open source software to edit and convert the files to DVDs. When I am finished with my tapes, I can sell the whole setup and recoup the original costs. This has been a perfect and cost effective solution.

  • Transferred old 8mm tapes without a hitch

    Worked perfectly to capture footage off old 8mm analog VT, even though the unit is a Digital 8 camera. This was the first step to getting the old footage onto DVD for myself and my friends who attended a great cooking lesson 23 years ago! I used an EasyCap capture card from Amazon to capture the video to my hard drive. I then edited the footage with AVS Video Editor, converted it to 2 DVD folders with AVS Video Converter and burned them to disc using DVDFab.

  • Good but still trying to figure out how to use it the way I want to

    This product is amazing! I am really happy. Only a few issues. 1) it didn't come with half the power cable. Luckily I had a playstation I wasn't usuin and it had the same plug to fit in the power cord, I just hope the voltage is good and doesn't fry anything. 2) not able to use it for what I want. I am trying to convert old tapes to digital and its not working out so well. Not sure if that windows, me or the camera though. For its age it is extremely well kept! I couldn't give full 5 stars because of the power cord but it is still a very good deal!

  • Works great for my projects.

    You never know with used equipment. Works fine and will be perfect for my projects. The only that was a negative is a small broken piece of plastic near the function switch - it doesn't cause any function problems, cosmetic only.
