Can't Believe I Waited So Long To Buy One!

Date of Review:  Feb 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: With all the features this unit can offer, it really can't be beat for the money.
Review: As my old G.E full sized VHS camcorder began to show it's age & weight, I decided to look for a nice small camcorder to use without breaking my back using it for more than 20 minutes of use.

I was shopping around, and looked at Best Buy to...

Overall a great product , good value, and surpisingly durable!!

Date of Review:  Aug 25, 2004
The Bottom Line: If you need good quality camcorder for home videos and such that also offers great features, usb etc, (and doesn't break the bank), I would certainly recommend it.
Review: I bought the Handycam (DCR-TRV260), so that I would be able to send videos of my daughter and I to my husband who's currently in Iraq.

When trying it out in the store, I was pretty impressed with the price to start, and the fact that it...

Tough enough for a pro wrestler, easy enough for your 6 year old!

Date of Review:  Aug 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Whether you're a budget buyer or somebody who needs to do something on a more professional level, this camera most certainly fits the bill and the budget!
Review: As some of you may know, I work in the rough-and-tumble world of professional wrestling as a photographer. I've had more requests this year for getting video of wrestlers. Sometimes the wrestlers can provide you with a camera, but most of the time...

Welcome to the digital recording world

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Sony Digital Hi-8 HandyCam for folks who want good quality videos and the flexibility of many features. It was a Consumer Reports "Best Buy", as well.
Review: I have been using this camcorder for a month. My previous JVC VHS-C camcorder lasted us for 9 years with one repair along the way. I didn't completely understand how digital recording worked while still using a tape, but once I played back the new...

Sooo easy to use

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a user-friendly and budget friendly camcorder. It also doubles as a regular camera and that is the most conveniant thing about it.
Review: My husband and I received this camcorder as a Christmas gift when we were expecting our first child. We literally opened it christmas morning and started using it immediately. It is very user friendly. Also you can use many different brands of DVDs...

Awesome Camcorder

Date of Review:  Oct 6, 2004
Review: I had recently bought a mini camcorder and this one. I found that this camera has better features. It has the light and the night shot which i felt was useful for taping in the dark or outside in the night. It has a lot of fading options and...

Perfect but with just one problem

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2005
Review: I bought this mainly for the price. An overall good camcorder. The sound is awesome. The software isn't all that great, and confusing. I use Windows Movie Maker instead. My only beef with this camcorder is that I can't mute the microphone. How am I...

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2005
Review: I bought this camcorder as my first digital one, and I was impressed with the ease of use. All of the buttons are in the places you would expect them, and the menus are instinctive. However, I did have a problem with the sound. This camera makes a...

All Advertised Features Will Not Work

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2004
Review: I specifically bought this camera to digitize VHS tapes so I could convert them to DVD. I have followed the instructions to the tee and the camera will not tape from the VCR. Wasted $$
