Review: Camera started off great, but . . . - I had about 50-60 tapes I wanted to save. My original camera died years ago and I was cleaning out storage and came across my tapes. This was an EXCELLENT option to save them. The price of the camera was well worth it. The camera worked just as expected out of the box and I was well into saving off my tapes to my PC via firewire. I could not have been happier!!! But after about 20 tapes, the loading mechanism somehow started jamming internally. It kept popping up the error "C:31:23". So I only got 20 tapes saved :(. These cameras are old, refurbished and probably well used. So something like is to be expected. I just wish I had got all my tapes saved before it happened. Extremely disappointed that I can no longer save the rest of my memories :( :( :(
Review: What I'd hoped for happened - I was very hesitant to order what was a "reconditioned"(albeit by an desertcart refurbisher) item as potentially faulty as an 8mm camcorder. But it was my only real choice for dubbing 100s of tapes to CD for more permanent and accessible copies. It was received promptly, packaged exactly as described, neatly packed with all accessories (except remote which was not included but would likely make using it easier). I immediately tested in (after some long forgotten operation things), loaded it - it worked perfectly as did the accessories on a monitor. I added it to a digital work center to begin dubbing and I am still in the process of sorting the dozens of tapes and cataloging their various content for editing. I am very happy but kind of now wish I would have gotten an 8mm tape player instead which would be much easier to load/unload operate for what I am doing and may still order one anyway - the price on these is extremely attractive and competitive. Good Job desertcart! 5 stars!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with the manual?**
A: Yes,it comes with a manual

**Q: how do i get a manual**
A: comes with it.

**Q: Does this camcorder work both ntsc and pal?**
A: This camcorder is NTSC only. It will not work with PAL. You will need the DCR-TRV460E to play PAL tapes. Those are typically available on the European Amazon sites.

**Q: Does this camcorder have an sd slot?**
A: The Sony Digital8 camcorders do not take SD memory cards - they take Memory Stick Pro cards. These are generally limited in size to around 256MB and the Memory Stick Pro cards typically only hold pictures - not video. The primary use for these camcorders is to record video onto Digital8/Hi8 tapes and to playback/transfer existing Digital8/Hi8 tapes.
