    Does it all.

    The camera I bought on ebay was in 'as new' condition. It is packed with features such as Time Base Correction, Digital Noise Reduction, 20X optical zoom, steadyshot image stabilization and Nightshot Plus for filming in total darkness with built in infra red light to recreate those 'Most Haunted' moments. It has many connectivity options including Dv-in/out, AV-in/out and USB. It is compatible with the Digital8, Hi8, video8 and MemoryStick formats. As it plays back analogue tapes and has a digital output, it is great for transferring old analogue 8mm tapes to computer via the firewire socket. Some models only plays Digital8 recordings made with a Digital8 camcorder, not analogue recordings made with Hi8 and video8 camcorders. They will, of course, play Digital8 recordings made on a blank ...

    Excellent if you have some old Video8 or Hi8 you need to digitize.

    I had a bunch of Video8 home video tapes from the 80's, some with fairly bad noise as well. I wanted to have digital copies ASAP, but I didn't want to ship my tapes to a company - way to risky with this material, it is irreplaceable! I bought this camcorder because it was the last model Sony produced of their Digital8 cams. It has a built in TBC which completely removed all my noise and issues on the tapes. I've also always had problems with the mono audio on my good old Sanyo Video8 camcorder, where you had to have 100% volume on the TV to hear what people said. This camcorder took care of everything, together with the Mac App "LifeFlix" I could easily connect through Firewire on my MacBook Pro (2011) and control my camera from there. I stored WITHOUT any compression, as I wanted RAW DV ...
