The DCR-TRV350 was one of Sony’s most full-featured Digital8 camcorders, with a Memory Stick Pro slot, live streaming video capture from S-video/composite inputs to FireWire, analog Hi8/Video8 playback, and more — but there’s one drawback, which is why I didn’t keep it (and actually made about a profit on reselling it!).

Hitachi was the only other company besides Sony to make Digital8 camcorders, and they are very hard to find. This is the model VM-D965LA from the year 2000. It has some nice features and has fairly good video quality, but suffers from loud tape motor noise, and the image gets rather grainy in low light. Also the “16:9″ mode is not true widescreen; it just puts black bars on the top and bottom of the 4:3 image.

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!

Soon you won’t be able to play 8mm, Hi8, & Digital 8 camcorder tapes anymore or transfer them to DVD. Sony has quit making the cameras to play these tapes and they’re hard to fix. VHS tapes and 8mm & 16mm film will soon follow.
