I got this camera solely to use as a player to use with a USB capture adapter to digitize old Video 8 videos from the 1990's. It worked fine for that, but it also still does a decent job with analog video recording. It won't be replacing a current-vintage HD digital video camcorder, but it's one of the better choices from 1999-2000.

Purchased to view old tapes. it is frustrating,Hope the “smacking” gets the job done . To play must press pause. Nuff said. Did not buy for parts the offer started camera was working

I received this item today and was excited to finally have a way to view old 8mm and hi8 tapes. Unfortunately, the hi8 tapes don't play on this model and the description of this camcorder was very misleading, (was noted to have a large viewing screen, so there would be no need to be connect to a monitor...but there is no screen)! It also does not turn off,so the battery needs to be removed.The wrong wire was included so it could not be connected to a tv monitor - luckily, I had the right one. It was described to be the perfect model for transferring your 8mm and Hi8 tapes, but I cannot figure out how, since there is no way to connect it to my computer or a dvd burner! I was looking for a replacement for a broken Sony camcorder, and feel very disappointed in this purchase since I still cannot transfer my tapes. I am returning it as it doesn't meet my expectations.Read full review
Had to order a new battery. No big deal. Old one wouldn't take a charge, which is normal. Looking to download tapes into my computer with pinnacle movie studio program. We'll see!

This camcorder was in great shape for a used product - it works very well and I'm really happy with it.
