5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent picture quality and easy to use, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony CCDTRV43 Handycam Hi8 Camcorder (Electronics)

This camcorder is packed with features including the stabilizer and a color LCD screen, and it is amazingly easy to use. I learned how to use all of its features in under an hour. What I am most impressed with about this camcorder is the picture quality. Compared with other Hi-8, 8mm, & VHS-C camcorders in the store, this model has the best picture quality, comparable to a digital camcorder. At home, I have filmed under the worst lighting conditions, and all of my home videos always turn out beautifully. I highly recommend this model and all other Sony models.

5.0 out of 5 stars This camera is the one you want., July 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony CCDTRV43 Handycam Hi8 Camcorder (Electronics)

Sony put all the goodies on this little gem. The image stabalization and the color LCD are two things you can't do without. Picture quality is amazing and so is the 330x zoom. This thing does everything but sing and dance. It is simple to use and menu driven for the most part. For serious home or family applications, I would pick this one every time. The video is professional looking without the professional price. Unless you have your heart set on digital, buy this one. Try one and you will see what I mean.

This is my first camcorder and I'm very pleased. It is easy to use, has many features and the output looks clear and sharp. I could not ask for more.
