We stopped stocking the SonyTRV460 (this camera's predecessor)
late last year. It would seem that it was not one of
our better ideas as you've asked for us to get a
replacement. So here we are - the Sony TRV480.
Once again you can copy over your old Hi 8 or Digital 8 tapes to
your PC.
What is
unique about this camera is its ability to play Hi 8, Video 8 and
Digital 8. With a DV in and out, it is fully compatible
with most PC's via a Firewire connection.
