    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice, Easy To Use/ Picture Quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Accompaning Software Is An Hassle/ Battery Life Is Minimal

    We have had only two or three camcorders over the years, and one of them is this one here. The Sony Handycam DCR TRV340 is a digital 8' camcorder which sports 8mm/Hi8 playback. It also has the cabability of memory stick recording. The camcorder arrives packaged nicely in its box and is accompanied with a manual to help you explore and understand the new product. The manual is clearly labelled and illustrated and proves easy to follow. Oh, let's not forget the remote control that also comes with it! The controller has a rocker switch to control zoom, as well as the common record,stop functions ... more

    5 Stars good first digital camcorder 03/05/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages night and supernight shot upto 10 hours of use from one battery

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bit on the big size now compared to newer cameras

    I got this camcorder about 3 1/2 years ago from Dixons for about £500 pound which came with a sony camera bag thrown in aswell. It is of the Digital 8 type of camcorders which is a hell of a step up from the old VHSc types as it is nearly digital quality from a smaller type size, being digital 8 it can also use the older Hi8 tapes too. It has the option to take photos aswell which it can put on to a sony memory stick (you get an 8Mb card with it to start with) but in my opion i would stick with a normal digital stills camera as this camcorder is not up to the job (think of a web cam photo but ... more

    5 Stars The Best of the range of Digital 8 Camcorders 08/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Super night shot and 25x optical and excellent stabilisaton systen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No DV-in

    First of all I like to say that the built in stereo microphone is great, also there is an accessory shoe for an external mic. Has a noise reduction which means great sound. The menu system on the LCD has lots of functions for those who want to experiment with their video's recordings. Has Backlight, Fader which is good. You can use Camera manually for ski/sports, Landscape, Sunset/moon if you want to try your hand at using the manual instead of the automatic. Has audio and i.Link (DV) out but no audio and i.Link (DV) in which is a shame because of the many good qualities of the camera. Great ... more
