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.

dudeletsgoskate.com dudeletsgoskate.com dudeletsgoskate.com dudeletsgoskate.com dudeletsgoskate.com Looking to see how youtube compresses HD footage. Both cameras shooting 720p @ 60 fps. The Conclusion: Both fisheyes are good. The HMC is awesome in low light, it actually looks bright in chenga2, but the hmc exii isnt as wide as the 8mm fisheye on the 7D. The 7D needs alot of light to have really nice colors and indoor skate parks dont really provide that. The Audio on the 7D is terrible, its the stock mic. My next investment is audio for the 7D.
Note – The quality dropped a lot due to the lack of natural light in my room, so sorry for that 
Filmed with a Pentax K7 & Samyang 8mm Fisheye Lense (Step up rings used at 52mm) Filmed at 29.7 FPS, Rendered at 720p Colour Correction used. Raw file size – 997Mb Rendered file size – 167Mb
DISCLAIMER: these videos are for entertainment purposes only, DO NOT TRY THIS YOURSELF as it can be very dangerous if you don’t know what you are doing! golf clubs are also VERY DANGEROUS, as the iron can easily break off and seriously hurt you or someone else!
i got a lot of new stuff… the footage is kinda dark ill fix it next time
Sorry for the bad lighting /: i need a new light in my room. i dont know if it was focused or not, but what ev. Sun to my other channel – www.youtube.com There i do GFX and Editing.

Presenting the Sony DCR-TRV103 Digital8 camcorder from 1999. This was the first in a series of camcorders from Sony which attempted to bridge the gap between analog and digital formats by recording DV-spec digital video onto standard Hi8 video tapes, and also offering playback of analog Video8 and Hi8 tapes, so you could still play your old analog tapes in your new digital camcorder (although it cannot record in analog). This model has outstanding low light sensitivity and has performed flawlessly for me, despite being a decade old. Even the original Sony battery still holds a charge very well. Unfortunately, Sony basically defeated the purpose of the Digital8 format by continuing to offer both analog Video8/Hi8 and digital MiniDV camcorders alongside their Digital8 camcorders for the entire time they were in production (1999-2006). The only other company which ever sold any Digital8 camcorders was Hitachi. Also, the larger size of the 8mm tapes prevented these models from ever becoming as small and light as MiniDV camcorders. Nonetheless, these Digital8 camcorders still have a following and they fetch a good resale value on sites such as eBay.
