Sony DCRTRV18 MiniDV Digital Handycam Camcorder w/ 2.5" LCD. MPEG, & Memory Stick (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I still like shooing with tape, I shoot a full lenght film traveling in Spain several years back using this camera. It's easy to use while holding the carma in one hand for all types of shots. Exellent color and it did very well in low light. It's light weight made it easy eary to carry around. The sound recording was ecellent.

The eject button did t work … asked for return item and the address for return didn’t show up in post office as a valid address for return …Can you provide correct address for return

Technology changes so fast but this was the model my video workshop teacher recommendedand she is always right about things like this. I am a fan of the Sony brand and I know whenI purchase something marked Sony, it will excel at its job. This camera is no different. It holds upover time as well.

I love it, it's almost all I could have asked for...but when it says "AND MEMORY STICK", I expect to recieve a memory stick! I only got a tape to record. The whole purpose of buying this was to not have to worry about tapes and all of that confusing organizing that comes with it. Where's the memory stick? Take that off of the description if you aren't going to send it!! It really upset me!

I have had the camera for a week and I can not tell if kit even works. It did not come with all of the cords, it sould have, and the battery will not hold a charge at all. I had the battery tested and it was toast. I contacted the seller and he is going to send me the cords that it should have had, but I guess I am going to have to purchase another battery and possibly a charger. I am glad the seller stepped up to the plate for the power, video & audio cords... but NOT happy about the battery. So as it stands right now I have a high dollar paper weight... I will update...

I'm not Picky out this Product...The Seller gave me a Great Deal,and included some Bonus Gifts in it for Free..Thanks Again!!

I had this camera for a few months already so far i have no complains about it. Is very easy to used and it has a lot of features. But there are a few problems with this camera which may affect ur decision on buying it:Firstable Sony doesn't include the firewire card which allow u to transfer the DV video to ur computer. The good thing about it is the u can use ur USB to transfer the video but the quality is not the same since firewire the bandwidth is 400 mbps compare to 12 Mbps on USB.Another thing u may find annoying with this camera it only includes a .67 pixel camera. This mean ur still image picture would not come out as clear and sharp as a 4.0 Mega pixel.Also the program they include for transfering the Video isn't the great. I recommend u getting adobe premiere 6.5, Pinnacle 8, MGI 5.0. Which make ur life easier and do a better job then the one sony include. If u don't believe me check Cnet.com for ratings.Besides those point this camera is great, records very clear, and it has a very good zoom, a 10x digital although that may sound like not that much zoom, the advantage is that is digital which allow u to capture a more clear picture when u zoom at a far object.

This is the last series (thru 21) where you can stop action frame by frame at 1/30th of a second (for things like gymnastics, tennis golf). Sony's new HD cameras eliminated this feature.
