Sony DCRTRV260 Digital8 Handycam Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom Reviews
I need a copy of your original invoice when you purchased this to send them or the cost to fix it is $269.00. When I tried this out there was a buzzing sound that was picked up by the microphone and therefore it would not playback withou a buzzing sound. I sent it off to Sony, as you said it had a 90 day warranty for labor and a one year warranty for parts.
I am happy with this camcorder. It is easy to use and the price was fair. Thank you.
We took it on a cruise in early January. We did not drop the camera in the water, we do not have films of our vacation. We will never recommend a Sony product to anyone. We are just out our recorded memories and $300. The camcorder was purchased as a Christmas present. Sony claims we dropped it in water and wants over three times what we paid for the camera to repair it. After only a few days it gave us a moisture message and stopped working.
This camcorder is a great deal for the price. It's lightweight and fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It has excellent night shot capabilities as well as a built in light that works great outdoors. Great buy.
You can use it with yahoo messenger or anywabcam.com, etc. One thing though - some messenger programs, while they work with the camera, don't allow you to change the contrast and brightness settings from within their program. It's exactly what I wanted. I bought this to use solely as a web cam and that's all this review pertains to. If you have any issues setting it up as a webcam you can e-mail me at nick.staff@comcast.net. It works perfectly.
