Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sony CCD-TRV87P is a high-end Hi8 camcorder. Utilizing a 20x optical zoom lens, with an additional 18x of digital zoom, the TRV87 can move the videographer's point-of-view just about anywhere it needs to go. Additionally, the Sony SteadyShot image stabilization helps alleviate the hand-shake associated with high zoom levels. For those who like to go out at night, the NightShot 0-Lux shooting mode lets you shoot in total darkness. Sony's Super LaserLink wireless transmitter lets you play video on your TV wirelessly--as long as you have the required receiver attached to your television.

For budding filmmakers, the camera features a wide-screen recording option. In addition, the TRV87 features a super-long recording mode, to make sure you don't have to stop shooting before you're ready, plus a Control-L (LANC) editing interface--allowing the camera to communicate with a variety of editing tools. Various faders and effects let you add character and style to your video, and a six-mode program exposure helps to ensure your footage looks good in any environment. Included with the TRV87 are a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, remote control, stereo A/V cable, and shoulder strap.

This review is from: Sony CCDTRV87P Hi8 Camcorder (Electronics)

This is the second camcorder I've owned so I suppose I'm not a video expert but I've been very impressed with the ease of use and the quality of this video camera. It's light and compact but has great features, a good video screen, internal speakers and mic that both work well, and an interesting night-vision system that works suprisingly well (though I'm not sure what you'd want to do with it). All in all I'm very pleased with the camera.
