Things to know about Camcorders
There are three different digital camcorders that have been released since digital has become popular. They are known as the regular digital DVD camcorder, the smaller Minidv digital camcorder and the Digital8 camcorders. A digital DVD camcorder records video digitally and then saves to a DVD, combining a camcorder and digital video recording capability. It is of a slightly higher grade than a minidv digital camcorder, as it records an 80 mm version as opposed to the larger 120 mm DVD. There is yet another format of digital camcorder history, and it is known as Digital8. Digital8 camcorders work the same as Hi8 transport, except it is digital.
A digital DVD camcorder combines a camcorder with a digital video recorder, allowing you to burn what you record straight to DVD. In addition, there are several companies such as LG’s DVR that allow you to incorporate connectors to allow you to capture video from a camcorder. There are also ways to make this DVD as official looking as possible, such as adding chapter points and special graphics.
The Minidv digital camcorder can be mistaken for multiple things, such as a CD that has DVD coding within it. The term is also used to describe the three-inch DVD, having three inches in diameter. The Minidv digital camcorders cannot be played in most formats; however, Play station 3 does accept the mini DVD. The Minidv digital camcorder is used to record this mini DVD. Minidv camcorders are usually used to record small amounts of information such as music videos. There is a line of players going by the name of Warner DVD. They release different players and mini DVDs for the use of others.
Produced by Sony in 1999, Digital8 is basically a mix between digital recording and the older Hi8. Coming out slightly after Hi8, it is one of the first examples of digital recording. It uses videocassettes, but the encoding was digital.
Although the digital DVD camcorder is the most used of the three, each have their own interesting piece of history. For example, Digital8 camcorders were one of the first products to use digital encoding. The Minidv digital has rarely been used by anyone, but it does seem to provide a sense of fun to those willing to use it. The digital DVD camcorder comes with an endless supply of abilities, and even the opportunity to make a professional DVD.

After spending a week with this camcorder, I found that whilst the quality of videos from outdoors was nice, for normal indoor use this camcorder is far worse than my 8 year old standard 8mm camcorder. The picture gets REALLY GRAINY indoors under normal room lighting.For many people, BY FAR the greatest use of camcorders is to take videos of family/group activities INDOORS (e.g. children growing up, birthdays, graduations, wedding receptions etc). For these situations, it is very important to shoot the videos in natural light and not have powerful video light/s which make people conscious of their videos being taken. Sony have lately neglected this capability for other stupid gimmicks like nightshot (0 Lux !).Example: Sony’s previous generation camcorders had MINIMUM ILLUMINATION specifications of 1 Lux or less whilst for the DCR-TRV230(, TRV330 and TRV530) Sony specify a minimum of 4 Lux!Sony’s previous generation camcorders had a 1/4 inch CCD sensor whilst the new 230/330/530 camcorders have a 1/6 th inch sensor. In fact you are better off taking pictures with SONY’s current generation of Hi-8 camcorders for indoor videos for which Sony specify minimum illumination of 0.4 Lux. Unfortunately, Sony no longer offer Stereo sound or even external microphone inputs on their Hi-8 camcorders.Finally, the new 230/330/530 camcorders have the cassette door latch at the bottom. This is really inconvenient if you have mounted the camcorder on a tripod and you need to change the tape.

The 230 is this year’s lowest price “complete” digital 8 camcorder. (the 130 does not play analog 8mm tapes). The camera is a pleasure to use. The picture quality is a startling step up from 8mm and the ability to display complete single frames one at a time is fun. I’ve compared to mini dv and can’t see any quality difference (Digital 8 is 500 lines vs 525 for dv). The tapes are easy to find and less expensive that mini-dv… Sony has added a helpful “intermidiate limit” on digital zoom. This feature allows the digital zoom to be limited by the user to a range that is usefull. (about 3x over the tightest optical zoom.) The Color LCD screen is perfect for off eye shooting and great fun with children.Any downside? -Some don’t like the B&W eye viewer. I prefer it since the detail seems better in it. -The backlight button is easy to confuse with the adjacent control. -Sony dropped the “force to infinity” focus button this year. (This was often helpfull). -I’m not fond of the bottom opening deck, but it makes sense since you can keep the camera strapped on your hand while you change tape. -The standard video out plugs have been changed to a mini-video plug. This helps make the camera smaller but may make replacing a lost cable harder.The features I’d most like to see next year: Move the menu button to the outside of the camera and add an option for a brief date and time display at the start of each scene in play mode.What about the memory stick option in the 330. I suppose that this is a matter of personal preference, but I bought this to have very good video camera, if I want a good digital still camera, I’ll go buy one.

While I am very pleased with the trv120 I bought last year, I have to say Sony has gone a step backward with the new x30 (130, 230, etc) line. Yes, it is slightly smaller, big deal… However, the inconvenience of the botton loading tapes is a real negative if you use a tripod (which I do most of the time). Many features that were on the 120, were dropped from the 130 (playing analog tapes, microphone jack, contrast control on LCD screen) and I went to the 230 when I needed a second camera just to get those features back. The batteries (M series) on the new x30 generation are different from the x20 series(which used L series). I still like the Sony line, but I’d buy a used TRV120 instead of the TRV230 if I had it to do again. The 230 is not as much bang for the buck for my uses.

I have found exactly the same problem – grainy and unnatural colors for indoor shots. In fact I compared the video quality with my 6 year old Sharp camcorder and found the older camera had clearer images than Sony DCR-TRV230 in almost EVERY case.

I read all the negative reviews and whining in the reviews of the Sony TRV-230 Digital 8 camcorder, and bought it anyway for use of live-action reference for my animated projects. I didn’t need stellar image quality, anyway, so the complaints didn’t apply to me. I was suprised when I got this thing.The image quality is wonderful! It has natural looking colours, excellent sound reproduction for a built in microphone and is razor sharp. While it is true that indoors you may have a bit of grain, it isn’t a detriment like the people here would make it out like. I lit my subjects evenly and brightly, and the grain disappeared. Scratch one problem. If you have good lighting, there’s no grain. Very simple. But, if you do not have even, bright lighting, it can become very grainy indeed.The camera has a mind-boggling array of effects, all of which can have a nice effect if used in moderation. The effect I particularly like is the “flash” effect. If you crank it down to one bar, you get a nice cinematic look that is very similar in look to 35mm film at 26fps. The lens is very good, but in very bright situations some glare can appear on subjects. However, all cameras do that in some respect so if you’re doing a lot of outdoor shooting, Sony has some lens filters that you can screw on. Scratch another complaint.I especially liked how virtually everything is near your thumb. Record mode, play mode, zoom. The zoom is amazing, but you can forget a 700x zoom. It gets blurry around 400 or 500x, but as someone else at Amazon put it, who needs that much zoom anyways? If you really want to shoot something, then get off your [behind] and shoot it.The remote is also handy, as well, especially if you are doing stop-motion/steadycam work. It may seem like a toy, but when it’s on a tripod, you don’t want to jolt the camera when you’re doing stop-mo. It has most of the functions of the camera itself.One complaint that I have is the tape loading mechanism. Most 8mm camcorders have a simple door, shove in the tape and slam the door shut — just like a cassette deck. Not this one. It has a fancy little motor that wheels out the cassette like some kind of science fiction movie. It definitely looks cool but if it breaks down, how are you supposed to get the tape in? demerit point for Sony there. I did like the bottom tape loading mechanism, though, because most 8mms have the door where your palm is, so you have to slip your hand out. Not so here. Tripod could be a problem, but a display tells you how much tape you’re used and how much tape is left, so it doesn’t reall matter because you have more than enough notice to change the tape anyhow.It is a simple point and shoot camcorder which does a good job. It also suits me well in professional ways, as it runs circles around all the other broadcast cameras at Cogeco. This camera exceeds quality than any of the other cameras at the Cogeco studio, before or since. It takes some photography know how and a true artistic eye to get professional quality out of this camera, but it can certainly be accomplished.
