Great produce in transferring my Hi8 analog to digital. Connected to my VHS to Digital cables and software. Easy to use and edit. Will sell after transferring and will sell the camera AND VHS to digital software together when finished.

I bought this product to replace the one I had before which had dropped and stopped working. It is the exact product so I bought it so that I could watch those old tapes from my previous sony hi 8 camera. The problem with this replacement one is that you have to hit it many times with the palm of your hand in order for it to play tapes. Once you smack it about five times it plays ok until another occasion when you go to view the tapes again.

I bought this camera to convert my 8mm tapes to DVD. It does an adequate job but I started getting an error message and the tape would hang. We tried everything from blowing it out to using a vacuum in case something was impairing the tape. I finally went online to search for help. I found a site that said give it a good bang. Several people said this worked and sure enough it worked for me too. The error message disappeared and the tape is moving flawlessly. The other disappointment is that my old camera had stereo sound and this one is monaural, so I've had to bump up the sound using my editor (Pinnacle) to be able to hear the sound unless it is really loud. I didn't get a manual with it but there is one available online at no charge. I've only used it once to tape. It seemed fairly easy to operate but like any equipment new to you there is a learning curve to learn the features and be able to utilize them easily.Read full review
I ordered this camera for my Ghost Hunting hobbie to shoot in low light. While it does work for that, the first time I used it it kept shutting off and the batteries went dead within a half hour or so. Could it be paranormal? Now I have to test it at home to see if that really was the problem or not. Also, I would like to be able to convert my 8mm tapes onto a memory stick or my computer as the manual says that is not possible. Anyone can help me out? Mabie I am doing something wrong....Other than that, I am very happy with the product I received
This has been one of the best cameras I've ever used. Its very simple, it has all the features I use like zoom, back light, night vision and the battery on it lasts as long as the film. Also the rewind and playback are great and the sound is real clear when you do playback. My son had one similar that I had gotten him and I liked his so much that I got one for myself. I would recommend this camera to anyone and since I've told my mother how easy it is to use, she wants to get one for herself. And the price was very reasonable. I'm very happy with this item.
