Sony CCDTRV328 Hi8 Analog Handycam Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom Reviews
Recorded video had lots of grains in medium lights (even in a small room with 100 watts bulb), more yellowish even in bright (sun) light. Had for a good deal (abt $200), and it is not worth for that money. Bought this tested for a day, the picture quality is awful. That was also the same quality. Returned within hours. Video quality is the main thing needed in a camcorder, so rated 1. Hoped the one I got might be bad, and exchanged for a new one. Already own few Sony products (including 4 yrs old camcorder Hi8 TRV68), which are good in quality, made me think all the Sony products are awesome.
I never thought I would use the night vision, but have found it is fun to film the kids when they are asleep and I don't have to turn a light on to film. I don't think you could find a better analog camera even if you did spend more money. I knew that I wanted another 8mm, so that we could play our tapes we have now. I obviously can't comment on how well it will hold up in the future, but as far as its performance now, I love it.
We received this camera a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be happier.
I didn't want to spend too much money.
I knew I didn't want digital because I don't even use my digital still camera very often, other than to e-mail pictures. When our 8mm stopped working that we had used for nine years, I found it overwhelming to research and find a new camera.
We charged the battery when we got the camera and for 2 weeks we have been filming the kids occasionally and the battery is still full. It even has more options than I really need.
For the price, I don't see how you could get a better camera. The zoom works well and the color looks good.
