Sony Handycam CCD-TRV328 Hi-8 Analog Camcorder

A good machine for the older tapes

I needed a player as the first link in a rig to digitize my old Hi-8 analog video cassettes. I have this as a player, outputting to a Sony DCR-HC30 Digital 8 camera that has pass-through feature to a firewire cable that i connect to the Mac. Voila - my old movies are on the computer, quicktime files and safe from decomposing.

This does the trick well. The CCD-TRV-328 has a nice bright little video display, and it's S-video output jack maximizes the output resolution of the old tapes, which is better than the simple RCA-jack yellow video jack option on cheaper models. (But if you don't have an S-video INPUT on your digitizing camera, between this camera and your computer, you can still use the 328's RCA option. Be sure that you get the cable that does this. It ought to come with the camera, but be sure. It has a mini plug at one end to connect to the TRV-328, and the three RCA jacks plus the S-video jack on the other). The 328 would work fine as a camcorder, but i haven't done so; i'm only using it as a player. Its pretty sturdy, and big compared to current machines. My HC 30 is 1/3 the size.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Sony Handicam Used

Who ever had this camera took very good care. It functions as brand new. I purchased it for the primary purpose of transferring old 8mm tapes to my computer. This has worked out extremely well. Now I will use it to record family history? As theater of, grand father of 15 and the great grand father of 20+ I have a lot to do. Thank you for a great camera.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Great all round for working with the old analog 8mm tapes.

I bought this primarily to transfer old family tapes that were recorded on a now defunct old camcorder. The quality on playback is better than I expected from this format and up-converted by the TV is actually quite good.. Even making new recordings on 20 year old tapes, the image quality is actually better than I expected.Vollständige Rezension lesen

Fully functional, it’s in great shape. I’m very pleased.

Clean inside and out. It seems to be a great little camera. Mostly want it for tape transfer purposes, I had to replace the main battery and reset the button battery. This required referencing an online manual. It is now fully functional. The included charger also works well. I’m very pleased.Vollständige Rezension lesen

WATCH AND CONVERT YOUR TAPES, OR RECORD NEW VIDEO

IT'S PERFECT FOR WATCHING OR CONVERTING Hi8 AND REGULAR VIDEO 8 8MM TAPES, AND IT'S LIGHT WEIGHT AND SMALLER STATURE MAKES IT EASIER TO HANDLE WHILE YOU'RE OPERATING IT. IT DOES NOT PLAY TAPES THAT WERE RECORDED ON DIGITAL 8 CAMCORDERS.Vollständige Rezension lesen
