"Fantastic deal - (does not support Hi8 format)" Malcolm H. Albuquerque, USA - "As the other reviewers have noted, the TRV 280 is a very good deal as a full-featured Digital8 camcorder. I have to warn prospective buyers not to believe any source you have read that suggests the 280 supports the analog formats (8mm and Hi8). It does not. If you need to import old 8mm or Hi8 tapes to your PC or Mac, get the TRV 480. I learned the hard way.

Dallas, USA - "We have went through several camcorders trying to find one that was good quality at a low price. This one is awesome!..." "Fantastic Camera" Robert D. Lexington, USA - "This is my first Sony Camcorder product. My previous models were Panasonic VHS-C and a Canon MiniDV. The Sony Digital 8 and other MiniDV cameras are DIGITAL format. Sony uses 8mm while the other use 6mm. Digital 8 is Sony's standard and if you have ever seen Beta compared to VHS you would see that Sony standards are excellent.
