Great camera with play back features and ability to transfer hi8 to digital

Works with Digital 8 and Hi8 formats, but Video8 (analog) format is very grainy and unplayable
Got this to playback my digital8, hi8, and video8 tapes. Read the manual before I bought so I know what to expect. Previously, I got a hitachi handycam but that could not play any of those, so I guess Sony is the way to go. Pros: - Well packaged, and as described Cons: - The switch for toggling between record and playback mode is somewhat loose, so sometimes during playback the unit turns off - Video8 tape is not playing back properlyVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Works as advertised
I purchased this camcorder as I have I loved it back in 2010 and recorded over 20 stage plays I performed in. My camcorder just wore out from all the use I gave it and I wanted a backup to copy my tapes. The camcorder works as promised and came with an assortment of connections I also needed. I'm happy with the purchase and am transferring my tapes to another media.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Love this camera (it's certainly not HD, but in its time, it was great!)

Copy to PC
I purchased this product because the card in my old cam cracked and I had many tapes to digitize. This product worked great. I was able to transfer all tapes including my son's birth. The product, so far, has worked as advertised. I will keep it in case I find more tapes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
