It is old technology that I'm using to convert footage from 8 mm tapes to a digital format that I can save on my computer. This camcorder works but needs a bit of tender-love-and-care to get it to play through the tapes as it stops and needs some type of reset (involving removing and reinserting the battery and/or ejecting and re-inserting the tape). I'll probably need to get some tape head cleaner to get it function better. I'm pleased that I'm able to do the work-arounds and at least play the footage with a goal to convert so that I won't have to rely on the slow technology of rewinding and playing around with tapes.

The camcorder arrived fast and packaged extremely protective. The camcorder appears and works just like a brand new one. I have already used it to copy around ten hours of old 8mm directly onto a DVD disk. The picture quality and color is outstanding. I am very pleased with it.

I bought this to convert my old HI8 tapes to dvd's. It works great. I had a Sony very similar to this that I loved. Unfortunately I loaned it to someone and it was never returned. This camera is easy to operate. I haven't really used it for video taping but in my few test shots it's as good as my old one. Sony is #1 in my book. I ran into a 'user' problem, nothing to do with the camera operation. I ended up calling their customer service 3 different times and they were fantastic, extremely helpful even though it was a discontinued product.
I like the 8mm camcorder because it offers nice features. Happy Bought it.
