Sony Handycam DCR-TRV250 Hi Quality Video On The Cheap
This is one of Sony’s most popular digital 8 camcorders because of its ability to produce high-resolution videos in a form factor that is easy to hold and carry. It also can be operated in the record an playback mode with the bundled Sony wireless remote controller. The built-in firewire and USB ports also make connectivity to Macs and PCs a breeze. You can also use the DCR-TRV250 as a video camera to stream video directly to your PC using the USB cable and connectors. It also comes with a set of analog and S-video output jacks for easy connection to televisions for quick playback of your recorded videos. This camcorder is very essy to use as all of the transport and recording controls are logically laid out on the top and back of the camcorder. The Swiveling 2.5” Color LCD screen makes framing video shots easy. Nightshot gives you the ability to shoot videos in total darkness. Steadyshot reduces jittery videos from hand held shooting. The 20X optical zoom allows you to get in really tight on the subject without sacrificing image quality. The 700X digital zoom also comes in handy for very long telephoto shots. Sony’s exclusive infolithium battery system is still the only system that gives an accurate readout of the remaining battery life in real-time that is displayed in both the viewfinder and the fold-out color TFT display. All in all. this camcorder will give the budding movie maker or hobbyist the biggest bang for the buck and the ability to produce high quality digital video on a no-frills budget. It is really easy to upload video to a PC or Mac editing platform by simply connecting a USB cable supplied or Firewire Cable (Optional) and loading the appropriate hardware drivers with the supplied CD-ROM.Read full review
As I remember this it needs a FireWire Cable to be used with iMovie or FinalCut.
