1. Bought this camera on clearance from Wal-Mart for my daughter. This would actually be worth buying if only it came with (or you could add seperately) a power adapter to plug into the wall. The big problem is that it runs on 3 AA batteries that last a good five minutes (if that) while the camera is in use. If you use rechargeable batteries they don't last that long. Also, the camera cannot be used while plugged into the usb port so using the usb cable as a power source is out of the question also. The picture isn't too bad. The audio and video are never in sync, however. But, who cares? You never get to record anything longer than about 3 minutes anyway. If someone gave this to me free, I would give it back.

1. this model is being discontinued by Sony, replaced by the TRV-520. Biggest change is the new one will no longer play the hi-8 tapes, only digital. Smaller screen, other minor changes. but because it's being discontinued, you can get it really cheap elsewhere. .... by the way, camera is awesome. A little bulky by today's standards, but it can do tons of stuff.



2. ...Comfort and user friendliness is important to me and this just didn't have it. The zoom function was difficult to control and it was hard to reach the zoom button on top of the camcorder and it just didn't feel right to move the lever left to right as opposed to front and back. The viewfinder was only B+W. My Sony Cam from '91 felt more ergonomically correct than this unit. Glad the TRV530 is discontinued. The TRV117 is a much better choice.



3. I recently bought the 530 some time ago and let me tell you it was the biggest mistake of my life.

   I am so happy this camcorder is discontinued because it won't make others as angry as it made me.

   First off, the digital stills are laughable. VERY WEAK!

   The camera is bulky. I can't even get my finger to rest confortably on the zoom. I end up holding the damn thing with two hands!
   Okay, the optical zoom is good (that's where it gets ONE star from me). However, the digital zoom is so awful that its pointless that its even there.

   Picture is very grainy at times when seen on my TV. This had my family very disapointed as I was filming my first born's first few steps. I was REALLY angry.

   This camcorder was a bust for Sony and I'm glad they threw it out.

   I will be getting the MINI DV soon.




4. Excellent, digital and optical zoom. Special efects wonderfull. I would be great better resolution for taking pictures.



5. This camera is excellent for capturing videos, and the still picture quality is ok if you are outdoors. For shooting still pics indoors & especially during night-time, you must have a very bright light source or a brightly illuminated room. The optical zoom is great. The memory stick is a nice addition but Sony should have provided a 32 MB memory stick as a standard accessory. The software is good enough to get started but I recommend Adobe Premiere and an iLink (firewire) cable if you are serious about editing video. Battery Life is adequate but I recommend buying another battery. Overall I highly recommend it.
   
   Pros:
   1. Portable, small and light weight, but big enough to hold steady.
   2. Extra-large 3.5 inch LCD screen.
   3. Photo quality is ok but you may need a separate camera if you are a stickler about quality.
   4. Reversable swivel screen for viewing from any angle.
   5. No detectable motor noise or hum when recording.
   6. Easy operation and simple controls.
   7. I've dropped it several times with no problems.
   
   Cons:
   1. Battery must charge in unit... not easy to remember. Get a charger or a second battery because you will forget to charge it and may miss the good shots.
   2. Software is fair but useable.
   3. Included memory stick is insufficent for camera, buy 32 or 64 MB memory stick.
   4. You must remove camera from the tripod to change tapes.
