Ahh…my first DV camcorder that I bought in 2006. This is what I got after my Panasonic Palmcorder IQ started chewing tapes, but I don’t think it was immediately after. Anyway, this is right on the starting edge where my shooting picked up after 5 YEARS OF NOT SHOOTING MUCH OF ANYTHING!!! My whole junior high and 3/4 of my high school life left UNDOCUMENTED on tape :( Anyway, this camcorder is a Digital8 type that takes 8mm video tapes. They can be standard 8 if you use the SP setting and keep the heads clean, which will save some money. Comparing this to my TRV65, it has a little bit more sharpness and an improved S/N ratio, but it is lacking the great features of the TRV65. I wish I had bought that camera instead, or a MiniDV camcorder because Digital8 only records for 1 hour, like MiniDV, but is is much larger. Is the sacrifice in recording time worth the increase in picture quality from this camcorders chip? Absolutely not! Give me analog Hi8!
