Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Sony has updated its range of Digital8 Handycams with the DCR-TRV265, which will provide users with their first experience of a digital camcorder and video editing on a PC. The new range offers an equally attractive upgrade path to users of analogue video as the top model can also play back 8mm and Hi8 tapes. Other enhancements include a bundled software application that can burn footage to the popular VideoCD format in three easy steps as well as DV-IN and a touch sensitive LCD menu on some models.

The DCR-TRV265 comes bundled with Picture Package - a new and extremely intuitive way of creating movies on Video CD. Targeted at the beginner, this solution-oriented package does away with the need for complex video editing software on the computer. The simple process starts with the user choosing a music track, then the video (one sequence or the full tape) from the camera. Confirming the selection makes the software start burning a movie to VideoCD using the computer's CD recorder . The result is a professional looking video that has been automatically edited to match the music and which benefits from the automatic addition of special effects between the scenes. Output directly to VideoCD for widespread distribution, the new movie can be played in most PCs or domestic DVD players. The camera also takes advantage of USB connectivity to provide high speed transfer of e-movies and digital pictures to a PC, either to burn to a CD or for use in Web streaming applications. In addition, the DCR-TRV265 further benefits from the inclusion of a DV-IN function which allows video edited on a PC to be recorded back to tape.

For beginners, a Easy Handycam button on the cameras now provides a one-step solution for ease of use. This new and unique Sony function simplifies the choice of menu features, displaying a limited set of commands on the LCD screen in large, easy to read characters. With almost all settings on automatic, the user is presented with only the commands necessary for basic camera operation, making learning to shoot video even easier. Users can return to the normal function Regular Mode by simply pressing a single button, making these cameras perfect for both beginners and more advanced users. In a further move to simplify camera use, the menu system can now be set to display in any of nine European languages.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a bargain digi camcorder? Found it!, 4 Jun 2004
    By Craig Stewart (Barnoldswick, Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    Bought this camera mainly because of the price, I have seen it advertised elsewhere for £330+ so it's a bargain from amazon. Secondly, the features you get for £250 couldn't be better, 20x zoom, LCD screen and hi-fi stereo sound. I have used a friends Hi-8 camcorder before and found the playback to be grainy and often with lines in, much like a VCR playback. Took some footage the other day with this baby, played it back on my TV and was pleasantly surprised to see extremely high quality, almost DVD like video with excellent sound, plus, hook it up to a PC with the USB cable provided and start burning your own VCD's and DVD's. The software provided with the camera is, to be honest, useless, but get yourself a decent video editing software, I use Nero's bundled encoding software, and you can knock together some swanky looking home movies with effects and all. Buy this, and it's £250 well spent. P.S. get some tapes, only thing not included!

    5.0 out of 5 stars great family camcorder, 27 April 2004
    i bought this item to film a special event and we couldn't be more pleasedwith it--very easy to use for all of us, kids too, and gives greatresults. my only gripe is the short battery life (90/120 mins), but sinceit charges in minuites and i'd planned to buy a spare anyway, it's not amajor issue for me. the built in light is an added bonus at this price,the lcd screen couldn't be clearer, and is great fun. plus it comes withusb cable and all necessary software for computer editing. Great value formoney too, at this price!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camcorder, not so good software, 19 Jun 2004
    I have just recevied the camcorder and love it. It's so easy to use and so far, the quality is really clear. My only disappointment, is the software that came with it. Does anyone know of any other software that I could use to make a DVD of my films, without the need of a video capture card? The software provided does allow me to make VCD's, but not DVD's. The camcorder itself though gets 5 points out of 5
