Capture high-quality digital audio and video with Sony’s DCR-TRV280 Digital8 Handycam camcorder. The DCR-TRV280 features Digital8 recording for three times the color bandwidth of VHS, providing you with stunning video performance. The CCD imager captures clear and detailed images for consistently outstanding image quality. With Sony’s NightShot Plus infrared system you can capture natural-looking video, even when shooting in low light.

Don’t let its compact design fool you: the DCR-TRV280 carries great power with the Stamina battery power-management system, which allows you to continuously record for up to 12 hours on a single full charge. Editing and sharing hours of video is easy with the i.LINK DV interface, which allows you to easily connect your camcorder to your TV or PC.

This camcorder is definitely suited for the hardcore point-and-shooters and novices who fear the responsibility of making crucial decisions pertaining to the quality of the capture image. For those that aspire to create as opposed to simply capturing, I urge that you look elsewhere.
