mommyrice's Full Review: Sony Handycam DCR-TRV140 Digital-8 Camcorder
I got this camera just the other day. I bought it used (almost new) on ebay.
This camcorder might not be the latest and greatest but it is very good for me.
I wanted a camcorder (my first) to capture my children. I am not planning on making movies so it will do just fine.

The first thing that I noticed was you will not hear the motor if there is background noise. Even without noise it only sounds faint.

One item that I love is the fading. You can turn the camera on and hit record and then fading. It works so neat and takes away that stop/start cut off in normal use.

The light on the camera works great and does light up what you need to see.

The zoom is perfect and has an auto focous.

I haven't used the night shotting but will on Halloween.

All in all I think this camera is great.

The only down fall, is that the batteries are so expensive and don't last too long. But if you can get a few to keep on hand, it will work out great.
