Sony DCR-TRV355 Digital-8 Camcorder
The DCR-TRV355 is one of a number of recently-released models that use the same method of signal recording and compression as DV but have the advantage of using the same 8mm videocassettes as is used by Hi-8 and even Video-8. Another major plus is that users with a collection of older analogue Video-8 and Hi-8 tapes can play them in many Digital-8 camcorders. Digital-8 camcorders tend to be bigger and bulkier, but is that the format's only negative point?
