Sony CCDTRV37 Hi8 Camcorder

Rating:
Summary: Great Camera. Just missing a few extra features.
Review: When I first started looking for a camcorder all I knew is I didn't want to spend the money on a digital one because the picture isn't as clear as even a 8mm camcorder relative to price...Because it's digital you get hazy or pixeled pictures on low end digital camcorders. When I finally went to purcahse a camcorder, it came between sony and canon. Canon had 2x more optical zoom and 300x more digital zoom, but the Sony had better picture and the camera just sat better in my hand. The buttons were placed in more manageable spots, except for the light switch. Anyhow, the picture on this camera is crystal clear, even when I use lower quality 8mm tapes. The only additional feature I would've liked it to have is a stablilizer... All in all it's a great camera that has the most important feature of all, GREAT PICTURE!
