Sony CCD-TRV128

Pros: Great Optics - Low Price - It is a Sony

Cons: Neck Strap holds Camera in a Downward Pointing Position

The Bottom Line: Buy this camera if you want something that will outlast every new gadget you buy in the next 10 years and will still perform

Review: I have a Sony CCD-TRV30 (circa 1995) and I felt it was getting a bit old. When I looked at CamCorders I felt that the Sony was going to be my preference due to its outstanding performance from the past. I wanted a better zoom than the TRV30 had (12x ...

Pros: Inexpensive compared to Digital

Cons: None I can find

The Bottom Line: Great if you use a cam without a tripod - and great price performance

Review: I just purchased this cam and I find it great. I was a bit concerned about it not having an Image Stabilization System. While that is true in terms of recording - it has a function called a Time Based Correction (TBC). From what I gather and I am not ...

Pros: Small, Economical, Easy to Use, Tons of features

Cons: hand-shake

The Bottom Line: Excellent choice in video cameras!

Review: We were looking for a video recorder that we would use for family/school events. After much research we chose the Sony CCD TRV 128. I still have much to learn as this has tons of features! The fades, lights settings and night shot are just a few of ...

Pros: Fantastic for budding video artists - or wannabees

Cons: takes time to learn compared to digital

The Bottom Line: A product great for beginning pros - and those who want professional quality at low price

Review: The thing about Sony is that it is the accepted standard in newsrooms for in-field recording. Myself, I am an American and I guess I have gotten over the shock that other people besides Americans can produce quality products - many years ago. But it ...

Pros: Good Picture, Nightshot PLUS, Built in Light, etc.

Cons: Nothing for this camcorder

Review: I did a review for a Sony DCR TRV260 Digital camcorder which i owned after this Hi8 camcorder. I resent that I took this Hi8 back because the digital camcorders do not play the Hi8 tapes which ****** me off. This TRV128 also had better picture which made ...

Pros: Nightshot, Image stabilizing, compact size, great video quality

Cons: insufficient battery life

Review: The same great quality that one has come to expect from the vast majority of Sony products! I find my handycam easy to operate, and -in my opinion- the video quality compares to other manufacturer's higher end models! Once more, I've proven to myself ...

Pros: Low price! Great audio and video quality! Compact size! A bargain!

Cons: No STEREO ! Why not!!?? Awkward "wheel" type Zoom Control. A/V Mini plug adapter.

The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a low priced high performance camcorder that offers a lifetime of great memories, this may very well be the camcorder of your dreams!

Review: The average camcorder shopping spree these days will reveal to the potential purchaser a choice of three Hi-8 analog models...The Samsung SC-L906 {which I have recently reviewed}, The Sony CCDTRV-328 and the fine camcorder for review here...the Sony ...

Pros: Simple controls, nice features.

Cons: No Steady Shot feature.

Review: The summary of features shown by Epinions.com indicates that this camera has the Steady Shot feature, but sadly, that is not the case. Otherwise, a very nice and inexpensive ...

Pros: Good starter camera

Cons: big and heavy

The Bottom Line: this is a great starter camera which is easy to use

Review: My holiday is drawing nearer and with having made the big mistake of requesting a new credit card(after I had a good day and decided to cut it up!), it was burning a hole in my pocket and I decided to "window" shop at Argos. I found a bargain of a new ...

Pros: Lots of extra

Cons: NO MANUAL WHITE BALANCE

Review: This Camcorder is pointless, there's no manual white balance so every shot you take is a different color from white or blue tint to yellow. Don't buy this camera if you plan on editing anything it's useless everythings a different color because of the ...
