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. The camera has a Firewire (or iLink as Sony call it) port enabling you to download footage to the PC in no time at all. As long as you have a Firewire port that is. A jolly good camera then. Shame it's being discontinued really. Get it while you still can. ...more

Premium Review Sony Handycam DCR-TRV120: I AM the next Tarrantino. (338 words)

This is my first camcorder and I am very pleased with it. I got it v cheap from an online shop at £440. All the functions, features and quality that you would expect from Sony come with this camera including a 2.5" LCD screen, nightvision and cheesy effects such as sepia tone which gives your footage that authentic victorian camcorder look. It's got too many functions actually - I hate those cheesy built in effects. This camera uses the Digital8 system which is unique to Sony. It records digital information the same as the more expensive miniDV cameras but it uses Hi-8 tapes which are cheaper and more easily available than miniDV ...
