Sony Handycam DCR-TRV120 ... Digital brilliance that really goes anywhere. Sony's Digital8 uses exactly the same compression and editing protocol as DV, making the commonly available and familiar 8mm format compatible with digital technology. Your 8mm tapes can now become storage media for what is the future of Audio/Video: Digital. The DCR-TRV120 also comes with a 2.5" color LCD screen allowing you to film all day in fantastic Sony digital quality then enjoy the stunningly clear image on the LCD, right there where you filmed it. Other features include 5 Fader, Time Base Corrector.

... still has a facility to take static pictures which it stores on the tape. Digital camcorders are ideal for home editing of footage using PC's.

This is my first camcorder and I am very pleased with it. I got it v cheap from an online shop at £440.
