A brilliant basic camcorder

Feb 18, 2003 - By Amazon Customer (Tulsa, OK)

The CCDTRV118 is a pretty good entry level camcorder with very good movie quality. The low light mode is wonderful. Does not have any major bells and whistles but nevertheless has all the basics just right. Hi8 is good on battery life and for the price, its a steal!!

Good buy

feel like a director

Mar 19, 2003 - By Alina & Shawn Brooks (wallkill, ny)

this unit is a very good camera for the price. for my first camcorder i didn't want to go digital, for the simple fact of the price. all the functions are very easy to learn and all the buttons are placed in an area that you can use just one hand to activate them. the night vision mode is awesome, it's like an army movie and you can see in pitch black with supplied light. in conclusion buy the damn thing and you won't be dissapointed.

MY FIRST CAMCORDER

Nov 5, 2003 - By Amazon Customer

This is the first Camcorder that I ever had and I'm really pleased with the purchase I made. This camcorder is easy to use, understand, and handle. In few minutes I began to play with it.
The only thing I regret is not for the purchase but if I knew better, I would bought model Sony CCDTRV318 Hi8 Camcorder because it has steady shot and other features that for a difference of $30.00 its worth spending.

Best for beginners! Easy to use!

Aug 18, 2003 - By Amazon Customer (Edwards AFB, CA)

I have never owned a camcorder before. I just wanted something that was easy to use- not lumpy and would not take up alot of space. Not only was this easy to use but the black and white option is awesome. My kids use it all the time and it is easy to pack up and go! This was definately worth the money!
