Worked great! good for camcorder

I bought this camcorder to convert some old tapes to digital (there was already a converter). The camcorder arrived in very good condition and worked great. Based on this purchase, I highly recommend the seller.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Not bad

Didn't work: Video

The camcorder I received was marked "good working condition" but it didn't work. I don't recommend ordering from this company as I don't think so They thoroughly test their products before selling them to customers.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Some minor issues

Not all accessories are included, but that's enough for me.

I needed a used Hi8 camcorder to digitize old tapes because it would cost more to repair my old one. No AV cable or direct charger (other than an external charger) was supplied, but I still managed to get it working.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This camcorder was just what I needed to transfer my Hi8 tapes.

This camcorder was exactly what I needed to digitize my Hi8 tapes. I had to buy a converter (EasyCAP) to connect it to my computer, but when I did it worked very well. I have no doubt that the camera recording works too. Good deal for me!

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • No automatic mode

Happy Camera & Photo Customer

I am very happy with the condition of this camcorder. My old one doesn't work anymore. I received what was advertised. That works great! The battery was even charged. Now I can watch my old family films on TV in 8mm. I plan to output videos on my computer to convert them to a digital format which is more stable and archivable. -R. Peterman

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Unreliable

With that, the camcorder was used and with it the recording.

As the camcorder was used and the recording function did not work as mentioned in the listing, the purpose for which it was purchased was to allow me to play Video8 cassettes to burn to DVD, the Device worked perfectly. For the purpose I bought the camcorder for, the camcorder was less expensive than buying a new Video8 deck given the number of cassettes, only about 2 dozen.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Modern

As advertised; meets all expected features

waiting for a product with old technology usually means meeting limited requirements. This used camcorder only offers the limited functionality required to play many of my old Hi-8mm children's film cassettes, for example. The item looks well cared for even with no cosmetic imperfections (although it appears to have been used); after unpacking, the battery is charged with the supplied charging cable/adapter; Then insert the ribbon and connect the 3 wire RCA connectors to my 4K TV. Voila! My 20…

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • some bugs

Arrived almost immediately

I needed a third camcorder with NightShot for my paranormal research and since I have two mini DVs I wanted a Hi8 because they record much longer (tape length). I also have a lot of Hi8 videos I made when I was in the army and I want to transfer them to DVD so after much research I settled on the CCD-TRV308. usually with zero light. The camera is solid and very large compared to my mini DV camcorders and most cameras available today. Like most Sony camcorders, NightShot only works in a very…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Periodicity
