About 6 months ago, my old Sony camcorder bit the dust. I tried to get it repaired, only to have non-functional again about 3 months later. Before I decided to buy a new one, I decided to borrow my neighbors Sony TRV67 for a week. This was a trial...

Pros: Low price for almost digital quality, features, 2.5" LCD, InfoLithium, stabilizer

Review of Sony Camcorder (January 9, 2001)

I bought this Sony CCD-TRV67camcorder after my first Sony camcorder broke down. My brother was getting married and I wanted to get some good footage, so I began shopping around. I first checked the...

Pros: Incredibly simple without sacrificing flexibility
Cons: Actors

Being an "industry town", LA has many peccadilloes that provide those of us who honestly have no desire to be part of the bright-lights endless enjoyment. A big part of that is how it seems that everyone is auditioning or working to get their options...

Pros: Battery Life, Battery Maintainence, LCD screen, Image Stabilization, Mechancial Zoom
Cons: none

I purchased a Sony CCD-TRV67 Camcorder in June 2000 to replace a lackluster Sharp Camcorder. The single most important factor in my camcorder choice was battery life. My Sharp Camcorder (and most other brands owned by friends) suffered from very short...

Pros: Beautiful Hi8 picture quality, loads of neat features
Cons: Mono, no A/V input, onboard mike leaves something to be desired, manual focusing is tough.

Where do I start? This is a great camcorder for just about all applications. I'll start with picture quality. Hi8 is an analog format but my uncle watched some of my videos and he can't tell the difference between my Hi8 and his supposedly better...

Pros: Everything
Cons: None

e had Sony Palmcoder for 11 years. Unfortunately, it died during the summer. We were not going to replace it right away since we did not have a budget for a new one, but I saw this camcoder in the Best Buy add. Free Financing until May, 2001. I took...

Pros: Small & lightweight! Easy to Use! Reasonably Priced!
Cons: Black & White Viewfinder

...And with the Sony CCD-TRV67 you can be, and quite easily as well. Our first child was born last summer, and one of the first purchases we considered after finding out he was on his was how to record all the upcoming adventures for posterity....

Pros: Strong Zoom and Good Image Quality
Cons: A bit Bulky

This is a very good entry level camera for general use. Although it is a bit bulky by today's standards, it is well built and easy to use. The videos are very good quality even in low light. The image stabilization works well and the nightshot is fun,...

Pros: Lightweight, A lot of neat features, Fairly easy to use
Cons: Be sure to check the box and see that all parts are there

I love this camera. I am not a very technical person, and typically anything with more than a couple of buttons can leave me perplexed ;). I love this camera because I find it is easy to use, is lightweight, and has tons of great features like night...

Pros: Reasonably priced. Hi8 version. Color viewfinder.
Cons: Small screen. Not much option.

The CCD-TRV67 is a good start-up camcorder for someone who have never owned one before. It provides color viewfinder and has a flip out screen to view. It is also a Hi8 version, better quality than just regular 8mm tapes.

When you use this...

Pros: Easy to hold, features, LCD screen for easy viewing.
Cons: Not digital. Comes with cr*ppy battery.

I'm now constantly filming. I love this camera! It's extremely easy to use. I had to buy a new long lasting battery which I always use and I use the one that came with it for back-up (never). It has good placement of functions such as record and the zoom...

Pros: good professional faders
Cons: Hard to operate

Very good quality camcorder compared to most. Highly recommended and guaranteed the best buy. You won't find a better camera for modern cam users. Good X160 zooming, and clear picture. Also Great faders for professional looking videos. Faders include:...

Pros: Size, Price, and User Friendly
Cons: none

I just recently purchased this camcorder and was amazed with how easy it is to use it. I bought it for my wife as a early Christmas present so we could record our sons first Christmas. It is the first camcorder we have ever owned and an excellent...

Pros: built in light, LCD screen
Cons: no slow motion in top panel

I am no longer an owner of this camcorder, however I must say it was a great camera. I owned this camera for about two years. I bought it originally brand new from B and H in New York. I used this camera to mainly film skateboarding, and other events....

This camera cost almost $600. another $150 to fix the first time it broke. now sony wants another $207 to fix the same problem of accepting and ejecting tapes. stay away from this camera!!!
