Sony CCDTRV118 Hi8 Camcorder with 2.5" LCD

Summary: Decent camcorder
Review: Being the first camcorder that I have, I can't really compare this with others. However, this camcorder is pretty decent. It's small and lightweight thus great for travel companion. The playback quality is pretty good. It may look blurry if you watch it on the LCD, but looks much better when you plug it to your TV. It uses Hi-8 tape, which is more expensive compare to 8mm. The nightshot feature is not that great, it's blurry (black and white of course). So if you are buying this camcorder for its nightshot capability, I'd suggest browsing for a different one. The battery only lasts about 80-90 minutes (with LCD screen and non-continuous recording), and it takes about 2.5 hours to fully charge it.
Overall, it is still a good camcorder, especially for beginners and for daily use.

Summary: MY FIRST CAMCORDER
Review: I have never owned a camcorder before and I wasn't ready for digital just yet, but I am very happy with this camcorder. It is so user friendly and the picture is extremely clear. It's very easy to hook it right up to your television so you can show family and friends the video you have taken. you can't buy a better camcorder for the money.

Summary: Best for beginners! Easy to use!
Review: I have never owned a camcorder before. I just wanted something that was easy to use- not lumpy and would not take up alot of space. Not only was this easy to use but the black and white option is awesome. My kids use it all the time and it is easy to pack up and go! This was definately worth the money!

Summary: Great little camera
Review: I previously had a Sharp viewcam, but, after 4 years it went dead. I decided to stay with the Hi-8 because my old tapes were in Hi-8, and didn't want the extra expense of going digital. I am very happy with this camera. The night-shot is a great feature - it's really amazing, you can tape your baby sleeping in a pitch black room if you want. If you're looking for a Hi-8 camera, this is an excellent choice.

Review: If you are looking for a high picture quality, good price yet not digital, then this camera is the right choice. It is easy to handle with a lot of nice features. The zoom is OK. I really like it.
