Quote:The Digital 8 Handicam. They all have the same grey body with the IR bulb under the lens and the microphone above, the flip out screen on the left side, etc.I think I have the exact same video camera you have, Dent. The model # is DCR-TRV 8.
Other than the fact that it was the absolute newest model two years ago and what I mentioned above, no, I don't remember which model exactly.
I like it. It's pretty easy to use for what I use it for. It also has the "Nightshot" feature.
I got mine about 2 years ago, too, when they just came out. If I remember correctly the cost was about $1200.
RE: Digital cameras - I really like my Sony Cybershot DSC-F505 (Sony Cybershot DSC-505). The only thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have a viewfinder it only has an LCD display/viewer and it makes taking photographs at night very difficult. It takes great pictures and it's really easy to use under normal lighting conditions, tho. There are some changes to the newer model. It does have a viewfinder.
I also have a Nikon CoolPix 5000. I bit off a little more than I could chew with that one. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice camera, but, it has taken some time to learn how to use it. It's not just a point and shoot camera.
