Summary: Attn : All Beginners who want affordable quality stuff.....
Review: Excellent quality camcorder ... just perfect for beginners like me. Simple to use with almost Digital like quality ( appox. 400 lines of resolution as compared to 550 for digital and 150 for other 'basic' camcorders ). So if you really want quality stuff without having to pay the high cost associated with good digital stuff ... this Hi 8 camcorder is the one for you. The LCD screen display and image stabilization are features which you must have ( this model does have them both )....you will realize their importance when you use it ! And yes when it comes to Hi 8 technology , dont even bother to look at other brands of Hi 8's ... they are not even close to a Sony. Overall ... the best value for your money.

Summary: Problem with tape door :( avoid this camcorder
Review: Had this camcorder for 2 1/2 years. Used it maybe for about only 20-30 hours worth of tapes.
The features were nice, video was nice, easy to use BUT!!!!
The tape ejection door is right where your hand holds the camera. The door where you insert and remove the tape started opening by itself, for no reason? Then, it would jam and get stuck. Now, I can't get the darn thing opened to remove my latest tape.
seems like other people had the same problem.
I am surprised that they have to make such a fancy mechanical door, just something more to go wrong...... and it did.
$400 +/- down the drain. Thanks for NOTHING Sony!!!!!!!!

Summary: A fine camcorder
Review: I bought this camcorder a month ago and I have been pleased. We have a similar Sony at work which is digital and apart from a few extra features, the two are virtualy identical. Would have liked the ability to record from a vcr or another camcorder, but otherwise a great value and good quality for the price.

Summary: for the money its a pretty good camcoder
Review: i just got this camcoder yesterday. its got some pretty cool features. the picture quality is great except for when i use the digital zoom the picture does get a little bit grainy. so far its the only flaw i saw in the camera. the camera looks great, its not bulky, very light weight. also if you get this camera you might want to get an extra battery too. the two hour one tha it comes with isnt enough. if your a novice video user like myself, i think the sony trv-67 is a good way to go. i only plan on useing it for vacations, birthdays and other everyday use. so its perfect for me. i spent months looking a diffrent cameras and for the price (under $600) it was the best camera out there.

Summary: Nice camera, but be warned
Review: I just got this camera the other day. The listing says 18 hrs? Sounds nice. The box says 16+, the manual says 16 with OPTIONAL battery. So far, it seams like a sound product. The only problem I have run into so far is that the battery packed with the camera won't take a charge.

Summary: Simply the Best
Review: I purchased this camera shortly after it appeared on the market. It has served me very well. It is easy to operate, and stands up well to rough and tumble use. I have used it on ocean beaches[sand], in hot air balloons[sometimes hard landings] in private planes[vibrations],taping summer event[extreme heat] and it works just fine. I have owned Sony products in the past and found them to be a wonderful consumer product. As a point of reference, I have used apx. 150 full tape in this camcorder with perfect results. This camcorder is no longer available, but if you can find a good clean used one , I say "go for it'.

Summary: my biggest mistake
Review: I purchased this Sony camcorder assuming that it is the best non-digital available. Picture quality is poor. My old VHS full tape Samsung camcorder delivers a much better picture quality. I complained to a Sony authorized center in Michigan, with no hope. I'm so sad for the non-repeatable moments (graduation party and two trips) that I captured using this poor quality camcorder. I wrote an email to Sony's customer service, and did not receive a response yet. The camera has a sharp LCD, nice features, excellent sound recordingand night shot.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This is my FIrst Camcorder and brought it with SONY Brand In MIND.Unfortunately sony could not live up to the expectations in this product.After I purchased it ,i might have used it couple of times and it has problem.I thought that i could get it fixed with sony warranty,but the sony service dealer said that it does not cover the Labour as it is out of 90day period needed for applying the warranty towards the repair.I had to pay the repair cost out of my pocket and got it fixed.Then later after 6 months during a trip to DISNEY i had the same problem and could not use this Camera any more from then.
i never expected that SONY products would be giving such a horrible performance for the value we pay.
BEWARE AND dont go for it .FOr the same price i paid when i purchased ,there are much advanced Camcorders in the market now.
