Newbie Review by Frank Costanza Newbie Product Reviewer:
The Sony CCD-TRV138 Hi-8 Analog Camcorder has everything that most expensive camcorder have without the lack of quality. Features: Image Capture Device: 1/6" 320K Gross Pixel CCD, Video Actual: 200K Pixels, LCD: 2.5-inch Swivel screen in color, Optical Zoom: 20x, Digital Zoom: 990x, Digital Zoom Interpolation creates clearer, sharper images. It has focusing: full range auto/manual (Dial), Minimum Illumination: 1 Lux, Night Shot Plus infrared system lets you shoot when it's dark. You can create a professional look and customize your videos with such tools as fader effects, picture effects and titling shutter speed: 1/60 to 1/4000 sec (AE Mode), viewfinder: Black and White, 90K Pixels and more. Record outstanding video with up to 400 lines of resolution and Hi-Fi sound on 8mm and Hi8 tapes. The LCD swivels for easy viewing from any angle. Plus it delivers a clear picture of the action during recording and playback. It has optical zooms to let you focus on whatever you are shooting at any range. Programmed modes let you set your camcorder to the shooting conditions. I love the spacial effect that allow you to add effects while recording or during playback. This makes an outstanding video for all to see. “ This is great; I'd recommend this camera to any one and every one!”
