Hi My name is Rick and I'm here to do a review on a Sony camcorder. It's called a CCD-TRV25. This is an 8 mm camcorder uses and 8 mm analog tape. You wanna see here where you put the tape in this camcorder. So you push the eject button here the door will open up tape goes in like this close the door and ____ automatically goes down. You turn the camera on by using the on and off combination on an off switch lens cover. So now the camera comes on you can view the camera through the camera two ways one is through the viewfinder here the other is through the flip out LCD monitor on the side. This camera has 12 times optical zoom I think you can see it there okay. It's got a 64 times digital zoom but I really don't pay much attention to the digital ratings because they just _____ your pictures and can't take away from the quality. One of the neat things about this camera for an analog camera is it has .7 luxury which is pretty good for low light situations indoor birthday parties what have you. We've used it for a lot of family events inside and really been happy with it. I like this camera because of the menu on it it is very easy menu to navigate around. There's a push button screw wheel right here on the back that actually that you set whatever you wanna set up on the menu. You can display your time on it you can display your tape counter you can turn the display off that will do whatever you wanna do with this camera and it s been a pretty good camera. If you are using the viewfinder here you can actually turn it so that you can get down on top of it. So it your are outside and there's too much glare for the LCD you can I like the ability to be able to flip this viewfinder out and be able to put you right down on the blackout out of the sun. So that's pretty nice and it can actually adjust here to focus in so you can focus for your eye. It's been a pretty good camera. We ve used it for a quite few functions and been really happy with it so I highly recommend this camera.
