Have had two of these with same problem
First of all, I love the camera when it works.Short on features and not digital quality, but top of the line picture quality for 8mm. Has clear, white whites and sharp picture. It's also very easy to use.However, after just 4 months of use, the camera started not keeping a charge.I discovered the problem to be that the camera would go into play mode on it's own from the off position and drain the battery. (Switch remains locked in the off position, but camera is on and able to play tapes)I was also...

It's worth what it is
I bought this camera 3 months ago. It's great to have it 2nd-hand... It is easy to use, stable, small enough to carry with convenience. I have focussed on the mid-noon sun with maximum exposure and everything turned dark after that but after a few hours of rest, it could work properly like before. One thing I don't like is that you need a tripod when in closest zoom-in because you can never have steady hands to keep the picture not shaking. It does not have an LCD so you have to keep your eye on...

The Greatest and Most Simplest Camcorder On The Market
I had a JVC GR-DV1 digital camcorder in 1997. Unfortunately, it broke. And I didn't have enough money to buy anotherdigital camcorder. So 4 years later, I decided to get the Sony TR-517.This 8-mm camcorder doesn't have all the features as a digital does, but it has a whole lot more exciting features than the Canon or Samsung 8-mms.Features: special effects(e.g. pastel, neg. art, sepia, black-&-white, mosaic, solarization, slim, and stretch)4 faders(black, stripe, monotone, and bounce)6 Program AE...

High-quality camcorder
I purchased this camcorder a few weeks ago.I wanted a high-quality, up-to-date camcorder, but was not interested in paying over five hundred dollars for digital.It is extremely easy to use, and is high quality.I have never used a camcorder before, and this took me just a few minutes to learn.I have had no problems with it to date.The sound quality is wonderful when you play it back on the TV.If you are looking for the Sony brand, and don't care about not having all the extras, then this camcorder...
