Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Nice older generation camera! Comment: I have a newer version of this camera that is Digital. I wanted an inexpensive model that could handle my 20 year old non-digital tapes for transfer and editing. This was a very cost effective way to do that, and it is a good camera as well. It arrived quickly and in the condition described. So there were no problems with the seller at all. Customer Rating: Summary: Impressed Comment: I purchased the CCD-TRV68 back in 2001 and have found it to be an EXCELLENT camcorder. I used this camera for shooting videos for broadcasting, interviews, traveling documentary style videos, not to mention family stuff. I have used this poor camera tirelessly over the last 8 years and it has never failed to work properly for me. I would recommend it to anyone. The ONLY downside is there is no option to attach an external microphone cord. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't plan on using this camcorder for long... Comment: We used this camcorder about 3 times before it died. It would no longer record properly. It captured audio but not video (ended up with a blank screen video capture.) The problem lies with a buggy CCD block assembly. The same problem can be seen with similar Sony camcorder models. These camcorders tend to develop the blank screen issue anywhere from 6 months to 2 years after purchase. There are reports all over the internet about this problem but Sony denies that it's a manufacturing issue and wanted 200+ to repair. I wouldn't get this camcorder (or any other Sony camcorder) again. Customer Rating: Summary: An 'ok' Buy Comment: I recieved this camera as a gift and used it 6 times before the amplifier went out, so that when you were watching your videos-you got sound, but no picture. This happened with our first camera, but you could see the video but there was no sound-also the amplifier. Unfortunatly it didn't fall under warranty so we have a broken camera lying around and must buy a new one. I give it three stars because for the time that I was able to use it, it was a great camera. If you do decide to buy this one-maybe think about an extended warranty? Customer Rating: Summary: Good camera for the price - but make sure you check specs Comment: I bought this camera slightly used in mint condition and I'm fairly impressed with it. The steadyshot function and nightshot are excellent features. However, I'm selling it, because you cannot take still shots, and it costs you an extra [money amount]for a media converter if you want to review/edit your videos on your computer. But, it is a good camera if you like watching home videos on your TV. More Reviews
