good first digital camcorder
Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV340E by phil8561 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages night and supernight shot upto 10 hours of use from one battery
Disadvantages bit on the big size now compared to newer cameras

...they are doing as it has manual focus and other effects aswell. It has a optical zoom of 25 times but can be set to go to a digital zoom of 700 times but you will need to use a tripod to get steady results from it. The best part about this camera i think has the be the sony nightshot which lets you shot video in 0 lux conditions i.e. nighttime with no extra video light but it is unsteady and only in snoys infra green colour and is good upto about 3 foot. The camera has and active hotshoe (i.e. powered form the camera) for mounting mics video lights or even better infra red lighting with video lights in one unit which i have used aswell which gives you and increase upto 10 feet for night time shooting. The outputs from this camrea are s video, normal a/v out DV out (firewire) and USB output so it can be connected to your TV or computer in anyway... Read review

The Best of the range of Digital 8 Camcorders
Review of Sony Handycam DCR TRV340E by supernova54 taken from ciao.co.uk

Advantages Super night shot and 25x optical and excellent stabilisaton systen
Disadvantages No DV-in

...has a ring manual focus which is handy. Comes with a 8MB memory stick which gives about 80 photos in best mode, image size max is 640x480. Have used this a lot instead of taking a separate digital camera. The quality of pictures is quite good and have used this a lot when on holiday. The Sony rechargeable battery that came with it last about 120mins so it would be good to get a spare especially the infoLITHUM for a back up. Size of camera approx Depth (mm) 85.0 H. 101.0 W. 206.0, quite big compared to newer models but easier to hold and keep steady when shooting, has excellent super steady shot when filming on rough terrain. Having a remote come in handy too, digital program editing, as Hi8/video8 playback, software pixela imagemixer version 1.0, didn't think much of that but you can pick up a very good different software nowadays anyway...
