Probably out of date now but a great buy in its day
Had mine now for a few years and its been very good. Gave it a four fortwo minor points - first is that it produces rather a dark image inside(artificial light) and second is the fiddly recording option if you attachan external device like a headcam. Otherwise this is a great camera andprobably still one of the best out there.
A Great Replacement
After dealing with the tragedy of having my Sony PC100 camera stolen, the arrival of my PC110 soon bought a smile to my face again..even if it hurt the credit card!
I thought the PC100 was good, but this thing rocks! Integrated flash is great, the controls were a shock initially, but soon got used to them. Even works as a webcam through your Firware Card!
Just bring on my next trip so I can use it again ;)
Disapointed
I was very disapointed when i bought 3 of these cameras for my business, within 2 weeks the LCD display had snapped of one of the recorders, the playback is terrible and the LCD is unclear. although i did not expect this from Sony, but next time i will buy a better speced camera, as i expected too much for the little money i paid for them.

A very good product. Excellent DV Quality with low cost but... (this word "bad", allways comes with low cost products) ... there is only analogoue and dv out (firewire IEEE1394). No dv in is present. When I bought the DCR-TRV15 thought I would not need the dv-out. But with pc editing is really..
Great value is the best way of describing this camcorder. Its not the smallest (in fact its quite bulky by digital standards) but its got great features for the price. The inclusion of memory stick technology allows full link-up with a PC and great versatility as a still digital camera with a useful..

The Sony DCR-TRV130 Digital8 Camcorder provides a good introduction to the world of digital video, being an easy-to-use and capable entry level digital camcorder. Despite being Sonys "best value" Digital8 camcorder, the TRV130 has a list of features that would fill this review on its own.
The Digital8 format uses standard 8 mm tapes to store digital video rather than the more expensive MiniDV format. You can fit up to 90 minutes on a single tape in LP mode. The TRV130 is respectably compact a..
