Customer Reviews
Never go for Mark NameI bought CCDTRV318 for about 18 months and the camera has performed very well. Only 2 weks ago suddenly it didn't work after 5 months of last use.The picture on the LCD cull and in the viewfinder was all blurry and distorted. The picture is getting clear scrap bit after half hour. I tried changing every setting and every adjustment I could ponder of. I couldn't fix it.
I did not buy warranties so I don't know where to go and how much is going to repair.
I bought canon Digital 8 camcorder 6 months ago to give up to date to my friend. Its working really nice. I think there is nothing in name brand. I would proffer small brand with warranties.
Repairs are dear
I have owneds my CCDTRV318 for about 18 months and I judge the camera has performed very well. Or, I did until I tried to use it at the first high school game this lacking. It didn't work. The picture on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder was all blurry and vague. I tried changing every setting and every adjustment I could think of. I couldn't fix it.
So, I took it to the restricted Geek Squad and they sent it out for analysis. The result? Sony would have to replace the CCD and other gizmos for a thorough of $196! After 18 months.
No, I did not buy warranties or anything - c'mon be serious.
So my question: do I spend $200 for repairs? Do I buy a new camera for $300-$400? Should I buy a Sony ever again?
I'm off to try to wrangle Sony buyer support and perhaps will post the results of that wrangling here.
EDIT UPDATE: Sony ended up fixing this for NO censure and now it works like a champ. If I could I'd change my review to 4 stars now.
Nauseous for a restored product!!!
I purchased this "works restored" camera and it was very dissappointing! The focus is terrible. There are only two spots with the zoom that are in truth in focus. Even when it is zoomed all the way out it is blurry. I just had my first child and I bought this to transcribe his first years and because of this camera I have already missed recording two months! This was such a waste of filthy rich!!!!!
A extreme buy
I got this camera because the half a mo i saw it, i knew it would rock
........ I WAS RIGHT!!!
it is such an awesum camcorder with great property and wonderful zoom.
The sound does not go up very high when you listen to recordings hot water from the camcorder and it is a PAIN to try to plug it into the television BUT... other than those 2 minor problems this camcorder is THE Paramount!!!
it rox (<:
if i could have given it 4.5 stars i would have.
Daunting CAMCORDER!!!!!!!
I extremely believe this is the best camcorder.It is very cheap and really easy to use. I'm 14 and I equitable used it to film my spring break and I still haven't even touched the instructions, if I can use this camcorder anybody can. I extremely recommend buying this camera it has so many features like nightshot, steadyshot,a indeed powerful zoom, a really long battery life, and many more. It can even call attention to back those old 8mm tapes you have lying in your closet. So if your looking for your 1st video camera or a camera to influence a rear on all of family vacations this is the camera for you.
