Sony DCR-TRV265

MY SONY TRV 265 IS AROUND 8 YEARS OLD (WHEN .THEY FIRST CAME OUT IN THE UK). THE QUALITY OF IMAGE OF A 0.5 MP STILL, AND RELATED VIDEO QUALITY (LONG BEFORE HD (640 X 480?), ARE INCREDIBLE. FOR HOME &/OR ART PROJECT (AMATEUR) VIDEOS, EXTREMELY VERSATILE...

CONSIDERING IT WAS SMALLER THAN MOST CAMS AT THE TIME (A LTTLE LARGE TODAY) & THAT HD TECHNOLOGY & HARD DRIVES WERE TO COME , I WOULD BE BEING PITHY, MOANING.

Sony DCR-TRV265

I am happy with my web cam. Its easy to use and gives good quality.

It is large in size. I cannot use it with my WINDOWS 7 PC to transfer. I find it most irritating. No sony manual says how to connect to my PC using iLink cable.
