Product Description

Sony digital camcorder lets you capture life's precious moments with quality and ease. New Sony DCR-TRV103 incorporates Digital8 Video Recording that records digital video and audio for outstanding digital quality with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution. This Handycam camcorder has the ability to playback virtually any 8mm or Hi8 Tape. This camera is also capable of recording 12 Bit or 16 Bit PCM digital stereo audio. New 20x Optical/360x Digital Zoom brings the action up close from far away. 2.5" Active Matrix LCD Screen provides excellent viewing clarity, with improved resolution.Steadyshot Picture Stabilization is the image stabilization system using motion sensors that compensates for camera "shake". With Sony's NightShot system you can capture video even when shooting in total darkness (0 lux) up to 10 feet away using the built-in infrared system. By applying slow shutter in the NightShot mode picture quality is increased. LaserLink Wireless Transmitter with TV Control provides wireless connection between your camera and TV, up to 16 feet. TV Control will power your TV on, and set it to the proper video input. SteadyShot eliminates shaky camera shots without compromising picture quality. New Analog Recording Capability allows you to record from an analog source and converts to digital video through A/V inputs. To make sure you get the maximum benefit from each charge, Sony's InfoLithium batteries have no life shortening "memory effect." To keep you informed of remaining power, Sony's AccuPower meter spells out remaining battery time in minutes on the camcorder's LCD Monitor or Viewfinder. Forget about cables, wires and adapters. Edit, Dub, Archive, or Playback between two digital components with virtually no generation loss with a help of i.LINK DV Interface. Intelligent Accessory Shoe Communicates signals such as Power On/Off, Control L, and Audio between the camcorder and accessories to simplify usage.

Excellent Camcorder

* * * * * I M P O R T A N T * * * * *Ignore the bashing of this camera for CCD problems (with a reference to CNET forums). This camera is NOT one of the models affected by CCD's manufactured between OCTOBER 2002 and MARCH 2004. There were MANY manufacturers affected by these faulty CCD's, NOT JUST SONY.* * * * * I M P O R T A N T * * * * *Despite being a superseded model, my camera still takes nice video. The Digital8 format was great for me because I had a lot of 8mm tapes that would have been...

Another FORMER Sony customer...BLACK SCREEN of death

I bought Sony camcorder last year. It has stopped recording video. I can't see anything in the viewfinder or screen. Absolutely nothing.On the flip side, it did work nicely for the year when it was working though.Just in case, you think I am disgruntled, cynical and I am writing this out of spite, please follow this link. There are many like us.http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-7594-0.html?forumID=59&threadID=53316&messageID=635769In fact, people there have filed a class action suit against Sony on this...

Former Sony customer

My wife purchased a Sony camcorder model DCR-TRV-103 in the summer of 2000 and gave it to me as a gift for to take on our 25 day tour of Europe in September ,2000. After familiarizing myself it I never had a reason to use it until on our trip. About half way into the trip the unit failed in Rome , Italy with about two weeks left on our tour. After returning home I sent it to a Sony Service Center near St. Louis and received it back about a month later. I did not use it again until the following...

Hard to beat this one

I have had this camera for about 3 months, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the camera itself (not surprising from Sony), and the quality of the results. Considering the resolution (500 lines, compared to240~260 for VHS & 400 for S-VHS, both of which are analog), I don'treally see any great advantage to going with DV technology, except that afull digital camera is a bit lighter and the fact that you can record up to2 hours on a DV tape, compared to 1 hour on either 8mm or Hi8 tape. I...
