great for D8
I'm a Pro Videographer - so I have used every format of camera made - this one is Not a bad little cam - it's not as nice as say, a TRV-900/950, but for about $150 used, it will give you D8, if you for some reason wanted to use 8mm tape. It's a great cam to take to the beach, cuz if you ruin it, it's not a huge deal - and they are cheap enough in good shape to just get another one - the downside is that D8 is a dead format, and MiniDV is even starting to show it's age now, as more and more newer cams are going tapeless... bottom line, for what it does, and the used market on these, it's a good buy - but it won't be the last camera you'll ever buy... great upgrade from VHS-C maybe, and if you're on a TIGHT budget - if you can spend a bit more though, look at a good used 3 chip miniDV camera...
