I have this same camera. I bought it at a Walmart back some time in 2001 while I was in Buffalo, NY providing training. Very good camera. I actually paid like $330.00 after tax (It was on clearance). I used it even from the plane (When you could travel freely and some airports even had a smoking room). The zoom was interesting, I record from the Airplane a dot of smoke and when zoom you could see the towers of a nuclear plant somewhere in Alabama. I'm keeping it for a Super 8 player basically.

My dad had a higher end model that recorded onto Digital8 tapes that he bought weeks before Christmas of 1999 for like $1300. Unfortunately, I do not have it anymore, but I think it was the DCR-TRV310, and I'm sure it's been in my dad's attic rotting along side the tapes since... 2004 maybe?

I had a similar camcorder like that one! Bought it on Feb 1999. I loved it too! It was a nice upgrade (replacement) for my RCA CC-436 VHS camcorder! Sadly, 6 months later, me like an idiot accidentally dropped it with the cassette door open and broke it! I take to circuit city to see if I can fix it under warrantee. But of course they figured I accidentally broke it. They gave the estimate of $280 to fix it. I decided it was not worth it. Although I paid $599 for my model. I felt it was not worth it then. So I went back to my old VHS for the next 2 years. I then bought a new 8mm for $300!

Thanks man!

Can you show ur conversion process?

Pov: your going through your parents stuff and find your dads handycam 😂

I'm getting that camera as a replacement of my crappy Sony Handycam CCD-TRV138 camcorder. Looks a little like my TRV87 which had malfunctioned in 2012. Thanks 969thewhip! You had me an inspiration

how did u transfer your tapes over to your computer?

do this camera has audio in the player mode?

I have the exact camera, but, the tape clicks then pops back open. I can't even see what is on the tape. That sound like the tape is stuck.

how did you get it digital

what kind or batteries do these use?

I have the same camera. I purchased it from WamMart.

I have this camera also, I don't understand what does minutes mean while its charging. The minutes keep increasing while it's when do I know it's full charged.
