Sony CCD-TRV68 Hi8 Camcorder

The Sony CCD-TRV68 is a wonderful addition to the Hi8 format, which features the best video quality outside of digital. The 20x optical (28x digital) zoom lens is paired with Sony's SteadyShot image stabilization, a good thing when you're dealing with high zoom levels. Additionally, a number of faders and shooting modes are built into the CCD-TRV68, all of which add spice to your video. Sony's NightShot system uses the infrared spectrum to illuminate subjects in low-light (or no-light) situations.

Featuring backward compatibility with 8mm tapes, the CCD-TRV68 is a great step up for people with an archive of 8mm footage. The camcorder comes with AC adapter, battery, wireless remote control, A/V cable, lens cap, and shoulder strap.
