Customer Reviews
The last of the not bad Sony pure analog camcordersThis camcorder was introduced in 1999, which was in materially the "high water" mark year of the Sony analog camcorder track. Digital -- which had been introduced by Sony years earlier -- took over the "top of the word" position the following year, which led Sony to simultaneously begin "cheapening" the Hi8 analog machines (in an take on to drive the "bells and whistles crowd" to the more profitable digital camcorders). This meant stereo clear-headed disappeared from the Hi8s in 2000, as did flying erase heads, digital rare effects and photo mode.
Being the Hi8 line leader the previous year -- before that cheapening began -- the TRV87 is therefore Sony consumer analog video at its greatest, crammed with every feature Sony ever put into that format. It's all here -- the Hi8XR format (440 words of vertical resolution, which in side to side comparison with DV's 500 lines is almost impossible to distinguish), LCD viewing, digital special effects, on-board lighting, Wonderful Nightshot, photo mode, full titling, a wide range of pre-programmed baring modes, Laserlink...it goes on and on. Yes, granted, the chassis is that classic "disciplinary problem" TRV size, so this Sony isn't quite as cute and sexy as those teeny current DV palmcorders - but it provides video that is justified as good, and costs a lot, lot less. This machine is destined to be a classic, in the same category as the awful Sony TR101 (their first serious Hi8 machine from almost a decade earlier).

Sony CCD-TRV87 Hi8 Camcorder Fly-past
I have old this camera for about 100 hours now. I have used and figured out 99% of the prominent features.
Pros: Many special effects such as: infrared, black and light-skinned, cartoon like effect, and a couple others. It also has 16:9 recording but distorts the illustrate when recording. It has an excellent playback speaker when watching videos you have already infatuated on the 2.5 " LCD screen. It also has about 5 digital effects such as slow shutter or flashing pictures. The photo recourse lets you create a slide show easily and allows you to use the fade features such as lap really easily. The battery that came with the camera lasts me about 1.8 hours using the LCD colander and about 2 hours using the black and white viewfinder. This is a surprise, because I reminiscences it would only last an hour with the LCD screen. This camera also lets you record TV just like a VCR which is a amicable feature if you like to edit videos. I also like the feature that lets you put words on the movies as you record. The stereo sound recording on this camera is great. The LCD motion pictures is also crystal clear and is easily big enough to see what your recording.
Cons: Grainy painting in low light condition. However, if you use the light on the camera, it drastically improves the grainy duplicate. The zoom gets really pixely at anything zoomed in more than about 180 times. The camera is larger and heavier than the new digital ones. The directions focus can also be tough to work but it isn't too bad.
This is an excellent camera. I would recommend it over the digital ones due because you get a lot more features for your money and the quality of the picture isn't all that different.
What fun!
I precisely got this camera in time for the holidays. It is so much fun. The "photo" feature is great. You can originate a slide show on tape! The night vision is amazing. The infrared lighting lets you see anything in the tenebrous. It has many special effects you can use to spice up the home movies. The standard freestyle charges quickly and lasts for about an hour, depending on use of the lcd viewer and jovial. The picture and sound quality are excellent. Overall, this video camera is an admirable value.
