My main reason for buying the Sony DCR-TRV110 was the price drop as new DCR products came on the market. This price drop allowed me to access digital video and the wonders that come with it.
As a teacher of information technology one thing had eluded me and that was using computers for video capture, and in particular digital video capture.
The use of the Sony DCR-TRV110 can range from simple record and playback to attaching it to a computer video capture card such as Pinnacle Studio DV and perfoming amazing feats of video editing.

One of the other good features is the Sony patented 'infolithium' battery system which intelligently lets you know how much charge time is left in your battery, sometimes more useful than knowing how much tape you have left.
Overall I rate this product A1 for price and quality and I still have a lot to learn about the camera.
Advantages: Lightweight and very easy to use Disadvantages: not much
I bought a Sony 80x Digital Handycam Camcorder; it uses Hi8 Digital cassette tapes. The model I bought has a colour LCD monitor, which you can use during recording and playback, and when having problems recording siblings, you can turn it 180 degrees and the kids can actually see themselves the right way up in it, it really fascinates kids. The screen has a volume control and the sound is very clear, even on the highest setting. You can also adjust ... ...has a Nightshot 0 Lux facility, which when recording in the night enables you to see, you can see all the creatures that come out in the dark, very clearly. Luckily for me it has Super Steady Shot, I use my camcorder for long periods of time, even though the camcorder is very light your arm does begin to ache and then I get the shakes, but with Super Steady Shot, during playback there is no evidence of this shaking. At the time when I purchased this ...

Advantages: Ease of use, wide range of feature, view finder as well as LCD screen Disadvantages: Small LCD view screen, auto-zoom/focus (no manual override)
Although getting quite aged against newer models arriving all the time on the market, the TRV110e still poses a good buy for new comers into the camcorder world. It's a smart little camera with some very useful features. The reason I purchased the 110e initally was to help a friend getting into wildlife filming. While I had a good experience with SLR photography, I didn't with video, and certainly neither did my friend. As soon as I picked it up, ... ...and was quickly teaching my friend how to use the camera. If you are competant with consumer equipment, ease of use is a prime factor for choosing the 110e, pick it up and away you go recording your favourite moments.
As it's based on the 8mm tape, "standard" in most other cameras, media for the camera is very cheap. While it's recording system is DV, the picture recorded to tape is simply astonishing. Better than 500 lines resolution, perfectly ...

Manufacturer's product description
The Sony digital video camera brings you outstanding digital quality with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution. Its Steadyshot Picture Stabilization system compensates for camera "shake" without compensating picture quality, and its NightShot system captures video even when you're shooting in total darkness. Its analog recording capability allows you to record from an analog source and convert the images to digital video through A/V inputs. Sony DCR-TRV110E is capable of recording 12-Bit or 16-Bit digital stereo audio. 20x Optical/360x Digital Zoom brings the action up close from far away. 2.5" Active Matrix LCD Screen provides excellent viewing clarity, with improved resolution. With Sony's NightShot system you can capture video even when shooting in total darkness (0 lux) up to 10 feet away. By applying slow shutter in the NightShot mode picture quality is increased. It is a perfect camera for indoor or outdoor usage.
