Pros: Digital8 recording format, digital still features, Memory Stick.
Cons: Pricey for its level of image resolution.
Summary:
As with many consumer electronics products, buying a Sony Digital8 camcorder is a "One from Column A, One from Column B" type of decision. The camcorders in the Digital8 line are physically almost identical, all being encased in the same plastic ... read more

Pros: Small, cheaper tapes than a DV, firewire
Cons: Still image capture is only OK
Summary: Why I Bought It
My wife and I purchased this camera on a whim. We were going on vacation and we decided to get a camera to take with us.
Out of all of the cameras that were available to us (we went to multiple stores) the DCR-TRV330 seemed to ... read more

Pros: Picture quality; Options on LCD; IEEE1394; Price
Cons: Snapshot picture; difficulty of putting on/removing overhead light; battery runs out too quickly
Summary: I think this camera is a great alternative to these "DV" camcorders out there, costing at least $900. I got my one for $550 at the time and am very pleased with it.
I use the Digital 8 mini tapes, record, then output into the computer ... read more

Pros: Digital (Sony) quality; backwards-compatible with analog 8 tapes; compact size; total ease of use
Cons: Memory Stick still picture feature -- why bother?
Summary: And I hate to say it but they're not perfect. I spent an extra hundred bucks to get something I'm probably rarely going to ever use -- the still picture feature on this otherwise excellent D8 camcorder. The TRV230 was out of stock and a hundred bucks ... read more

Pros: Great price. Easy to use for a first-timer.
Cons: Too many options. Still shots could be better. Does Sony need a manual writer?
Summary: Before I begin, I must point out that I am a novice videographer and this camera is my first attempt at moving from still into the more complex world of video recording.
I decided on a Sony after hours of reading up literature and grilling ... read more

Pros: Very nice features, still camera, good price, good quality outdoors
Cons: Grainy indoors, low battery life
Summary: I got this camera at a local Best Buy for $799. I took it home and charged it up. I went down the street and tried some shots. They were very nice quality movies. The pictures were ok also. However, in low light the quality is not AS good, but it's OK. ... read more

Pros: Good image and sound quality, work with analog video, high contrast LCD-screen
Cons: In conditions of insufficient light exposure the picture very much "noises"
Summary: This camera is already third generation of video cameras of format Digital8. This format has good popularity due to lower cost cameras on a comparison with miniDV-cameras. But they have equivalent quality of shooting and possibility of using inexpensive ... read more

Pros: An Excellent camera for outdoor shooting
Cons: Poor below standard quality for indoor shooting
Summary: TRV330 has a below standard video quality for indoor shooting.
My much older JVC GR-SV3 and TRV46 produce better quality for indoor.
I never stop thinking, why change from 1/4" CCD to 1/6" CCD,
sacrificing standard indoor shooting ... read more

Pros: Great picture quality; Fun and easy to use; convenient features

Pros: Features, backwards compatibility, still photos, connector choices
Cons: battery
Summary: I bought this after much thought about going digital or just getting a cheap 8/HI8. I have a lot of old footage on HI8 tapes and wanted to be able to see it, as well as to be able to use my old tapes and save me some money. The camera has a lot of ... read more

Pros: Lots of bells and whistles.
Easy to use.
Cons: Video quality is substandard.
Still image quality is even worse.
Summary: I purchased the Sony DCR-TRV330 because of the name, and all the really neat features that come with the camera. I looked here on Epinions for a review, but the camera is so new, there were not any, so I based my choice on features alone. This camera is ... read more
