This superb camera is in perfect working order. Cosmetically it is in excellent condition, with only a few small marks from normal usage on it. Has recently had a new memory back-up battery fitted. Manual focus ring to create pro-filming effects. It is packed with features such as 25X optical zoom, steadyshot image stabilization and Nightshot Plus for filming in total darkness with built in infra red light to recreate those 'Most Haunted' moments .  It has many connectivity options including Dv-out, AV-out and LANC, so you can transfer analogue tapes digitally to computer via firewire. It is compatible with the Digital8 (SP and LP), Hi8 (SP and LP) and video8  (SP and LP)  formats (blank Digital8 tape included to get you started). This great looking camera records Digital8 and transfers all 8mm video formats in excellent quality.

I've lost the SCART adapter, but these are available for £1 on ebay, if you need one.

Specifications

Product Information
Fast forward to Sony Digital8 with the DCRTRV120E and experience a revolutionary new technology that delivers all the advantages of digital recording with all the convenience and familiarity of today's analog video cassettes. There's nothing quite like it. Digital8 captures digital information on a standard 8mm or Hi8 tape. With the Sony DCR-TRV120E, you'll see brilliant, sharp images with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution. You'll hear rich, digital quality sound. You'll enjoy virtually unlimited editing possibilities. And you'll record it all on the most popular cassette format within the camcorder industry - 8mm tapes - while still being able to play back all your current 8mm and Hi8 tapes. With Sony Digital8, you can fast forward to the digital future without leaving your past behind.The Sony DCR-TRV120E achieves stunning picture quality, with up to 500 lines of horizontal resolution and records high quality 12-bit digital stereo audio. Digital 8's recording pattern allows digital recording on affordable 8mm or Hi8 tapes. Another thing you don't need to worry about is holding the camcorder perfectly still. Sony's SteadyShot system uses sophisticated motion sensors to remove unwanted picture shake. With Sony's Hyper-Precision CCD image sensors, you're not sacrificing image size or picture quality. Super NightShot enables you to shoot subjects up to 3 meters away in total darkness. Using Sony's unique Adaptive Frame Interpolation for better image quality, you can store hundreds of individual stills to the tape. When you're out shooting the action, the last thing you want to see is the dreaded flashing battery indicator -the sign that you've got no power left. That's why Sony cut power consumption and extended battery life. Forget about cables, wires and adapters. Sony's Super LaserLink system uses infrared light to make a wireless connection from your camcorder to your television. Just use the transmitter in that is built-in to the camcorder together with the optional receiver. The Super LaserLink System features a transmission range up to 8 meters.
