Summary: Alright
Review: 1. The Camera is esay to use, simple which makes it great for use at anytime.
2. The Camera is stylish and not at all heavy.
3. For connecting to your PC it's easy and works great.
4. Price is great, not too expensive.
5. Disappointment: The pictures are really pixeled and not at all that clear, even at close distances. Even still shots, aren't that clear. I'm not sure if this is related to the PIXELA program or not. Also I have to import the movie and then the sound which makes it hard to even make a 1 minute movie, then edit the sound into the movie and having it come together in unison.
In conclusion: The one most important thing is missing, a clear picture. This is the reason many of us bought this. To capture the smile, laugh, or action of a loved one.

Summary: BIG DAVE
Review: For the money I don't think you will find a better camcorder.
I've had mine for about a week & I'm very happy with it.
I think you could spend alot more for digital and not get as
many useful features. Basically its very easy to use but also
contains some advanced functions. Picture quality is outstanding.
Sony really outdid itself on this one.

Summary: Good Start for the new comers
Review: Hi. I got this camcorder few days before, and now using it daily almost 5 hours in day. I have listed out some of the Advantasges and problems i face with this new avtar of sony lineup. 1. The quailty of the recorded is very good and i feel happy when i shoot videos inside the house in low light, the lense did a good job. 2 Nightshot feature is also impressive and i have shoot some videos in total darkness and quailty is really good. 3. The battery that comes with the Kit is seems to be OK , if you are not planning to use the LCD while recording. You can also choose the battery with the higher life time. 4. The most welcome feature is the USB straeming of your data by connecting to ur PC. i have brodcast my movie using the yahoo messanger webcam feature and its done very well. Well now i m sorry to say but this machine has some inbuilt problmes like. 1. If you are planning to capture the recorded video on your computer using the USB and the supplied software named PIXELA, u will be disappointed with the quailty as it was very very bad. 2. The built in light does not seem to have an great extent while working on the low lights. 3. The external Microphone Input is not provided and u have depend on the inbuilt mic. In last, if you are a new comer and ur requirments are not like gorge lucas , u can easily go for this low budget handycam and enjoy the pleasure of movie making.

Summary: No reason to buy it - poor image quality
Review: I bought this item from amazon in early December. I made my decision then primarily based on the following three reasons: 1.To avoid the bothersome IEEE 1394 interfaces required by a digital camcorder. 2. I have no requirment to digitize & store video streams in computers. 3. The SONY brand and the price. However, after three weeks of usage, I realized that I made a wrong purchase decision. Here is a summary of TRV608 based on my personal experience. pros: 1. 20x Optical Zoom
2. Affordable price
3. Large and clear LCD cons: 1. Bad resolution and color even under excellent outdoor illumination. Although the captured video looks good from the built-in 3-inch LCD, if you browse the video from a regular TV, you will find what a bad video quality this camcorder actually has. The noise in the video stream is untolerateablely large, and it's difficult for me to find vivid red or yellow colors from the video streams.
2. Too large and too heavy. It is difficult to hold it for more than 10 minutes.
3. Bad battery life, the original battery can only last 50 minutes at most. At last, my conclusion is that this camcorder does not worth the price. You should buy a digital camcorder even if you only need analog output. ...

Summary: Just bought this July 4th 2002
Review: I got this camcorder for capturing my 6 month old baby. Wow, I am pleased with this soo much. When you look at camcorders and see some for 200.00, 250.00, 300.00, and the 2000.00 digital everyone needs think of this. The more money you put into a product...THE BETTER. This was the case here forsure. I can go into a bathroom with all the lights off at 12 pm and turn on my night vision on my camcorder and find my little pee pee. lol, Hmm, like 10 yrs ago or even a lot less, night vision would cost you thousands of dollars. This was a feature I didnt even know I was getting. The zoom is LiGhTnInG FAST. I catch myself overzooming on the first 2 tapes I recorded. This is one hell of a camcorder and I recommend it for a person that wants quality for the money spent.

Summary: this is a great camcorder
Review: I got this camcorder last week to take with us on vacation. Last year we had used a VHS-C camcorder that we borrowed. We enjoyed using it, but we had to get this adapter to play those little tapes in the VCR.
I got this camcorder mostly because it has streaming USB. It is incredible!! Technology sure has changed. The software and driver were easily installed (even on Windows XP!!) and then there was the movie, on my computer!! I could capture stills and then either edit them with the packaged software or export them to Photoshop Elements. It is very easy to use with a ton of features and it even films in the dark!! We went into our bathroom and turned out the lights, turned on "night-shot" and lo and behold we could see in the dark and record!! Also the camcorder just hooks to the VCR so you can play your movies on the TV. It's like have a digital camera and camcorder in one... I am really impressed with this product and am very glad that I got it!!

Summary: Most features and utility of all camcorders.
Review: I have owned several camcorders, as a matter of fact, I returned three until I decided on the Sony 608. The majority of analog camcoders do not offer all the features as this, along with the quality and usability, the 608 is your best bargain.
It is smaller than the average and yet has the larger screen (3 inch). The usb streaming feature is fun and easy to use and produces remakable images on your computer. The 20x analog zoom, as well as the 560x digital is more than enough for any usage. The nightshot feature actually works in total dakness. I cannot see spending hundreds more for slightly better digital quality. I am totally satisfied.

Summary: Great Cam!
Review: I love it! it is a great quality camera and does alot of stuff. It even hooks up to my computer and lets me do alot of stuff. I can edit videos or copy them off and even stream video like a web cam its great! Works well with WinXP. I bought from Amazon and they got it to me quickly even with the super saver shipping and the lowest price I could find with a free bag who can ask for more!

Summary: Poor support
Review: I've had the camcorder for a while now, and was hoping to be able to use the USB streaming feature to make small computer movies and send them to my friends and family overseas. Although the camcorder is good the included software is weak and the USB streaming makes a very choppy poor quality AVI file. I recently got a new computer and could not find the device driver disk that came with the camcorder. Sony technical support was a joke and they ended up trying to sell me a driver for my camcorder. So now I have a camcorder that I can plug into my TV or record onto a VHS (Do people still use VHS?) but any dreams I have of putting something on my computer are fading fast. I'm going to have to find a new way to send my parents the video I took of my new house.
Frankly in this day and age an analogue camcorder is a waste of money.
