I was recently at the Stanley Hotel (Estes Park, CO) for a paranormal conference, which included a ghost investigation. I had taken my Panasonic video camera, but could not use it for the investigation because it required the bright light to be turned on, and we were in the dark. However, my niece had brought her Sony Handycam (different model, but similar to the TRV308.) We found that her camera had a feature called "Nightshot", which is essentially infrared photography with no visible light. It was great for the investigation!! When I got back from Colorado, I started searching on Ebay for a similar Sony camera with Nightshot. I have been very happy with my camera since purchase, and have noticed that Sony Handycams with Nightshot are very popular among nighttime investigators in general. I have used it on other investigations since, as well as my niece's wedding this weekend (I used regular recording for most of it, and Nightshot for when the lights were turned down, they both turned out great). A great buy for the price.Read full review
