Tested and working great. The camera powers up, records and plays back correctly, the tape transport runs smoothly, and the LCD screen, viewfinder, zoom and manual focus all function as they should. The lens is clean and clear. Light cosmetic wear consistent with age, with minor marks to the body and eyecup. Comes with a genuine Sony NP-FM30 battery and Sony AC adapter/charger. Please see photos for exact condition.
Sony DCR-TRV230E Digital8 Handycam – PAL – Plays Digital8, Hi8 and Video8
A working PAL Digital8 Handycam, and one of the most practical machines for digitising an old tape collection. It records and plays Digital8 and also plays back Hi8 and standard Video8 analogue tapes, so it handles three formats in one unit.
Why PAL matters: most cheap Digital8 camcorders on the market are NTSC imports from the US, which won't correctly play tapes recorded in Australia, the UK or Europe. This is a genuine PAL unit, so it plays your own home videos properly.
