Does this camera work for playing back miniHD tapes? I currently have a Sony handy cam which only accepts standard mini DV tapes not the HD variety

No. I don't think so but I've never tried it. This is only a standard definition camera and will only film with standard mini DVD tapes. You can call Canon Customer Service and ask them direct. They are very helpful.

There is an hdmi mini out which I haven't used, so don't know if it would function the way you want but I'm thinking so. There is an external mic input as well as a headphone jack, though I tried a couple high end shotgun microphones only to get a horrible buzzing sound. The jack works just fine with a lapel mic I tested and a cheap external digital recorder I tried. When I called Sony to find out the tech specks on the jack, they told me it was proprietary info and left me with no help. The store I was working with have up as well helping me find a microphone that would work well with no buzzing. It's a nice camcorder if you can get a used one at a decent price, but for just a little more money there are some better choices. Best of luck on your purchase!

I don't know for sure. I looked up your camera on YouTube and the mini-DV's cannot plug directly into the Sony recorder. If your camera has the three RCA jacks for output, it will probably work. I would definitely contact Sony. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

If you can hook up your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder, you should be able to convert your mini dv tapes. You need RCA output from your source to RCA input onto the DVD recorder.

Yes, it uses a mini DV tape cassette which is about 2.5 in X 1.75 in. The format is totally obsolete and I get laughed at everywhere I take my VX-2000 camera, but it works for my needs!

Yes, this Panasonic Mini DV tape may be used to record on in a Sony DCR PC101 camera. I think it would arrive before May 20 if you order on April 22.

Hi, sony DCR-TRV310 is high end and plays any tapes (8mm, Hi8 as well as digital8). Take care, Norman. 310-968 0555 east coast

It is an adaptor so the mini dv tape can play on the dvc player. It is not a machine for playback just an adapter

It will play and record regular 8mm tapes only. The discription for this product is wrong. I purchased this camcorder to convert my tapes to cds but had to return because my 8mm tapes are high definition and this camcorder will not play them. I purchased another one afterwards (Sony DCRTRV350 Digital8 Camcorder) and it worked great for the high definition tapes.

Absolutely it should play your video 8/8mm tapes just fine. The standard IS the standard. I have multiple units of both Sony and Hitachi versions of this model, which I've used for several years in my Executiuve media communication training and video production business. Great stuff! So enjoy!!

After answering I noticed someone answered that it does work. It does not. I have 3 of these. It's called a MiniDV camera because that's the format it uses.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply. The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

will it work with a sony dcr-hc20e camcorder i want to copy tapes to my computer

Yes it does Amanda. Since this Sony Camcorder supports Hi8, it is backward compatible and do play 8mm tapes. For further info, you may check on the link below for its user manual. -Elyhttps://docs.sony.com/release/CCDTRV608.PDF

I spent $130 on my Hi8 camcorder and have been using it constantly for playing back my old tapes for dubing onto DVD. It works well with no problems. Mine was guaranteed for 30 days for my money back but it still works fine. These are old cameras but it is the only option available to transfer old Hi8 tapes to DVD so you take your chances.

It uses SD cards, NOT the miniDV tapes. Much Better!!! Linear editing systems like Final Cut won't work with the tapes anymore. I highly recommend this camera. Enjoy!

I have a Canon HF 200, and have been trying to find some way to play my HD files on the BD-60. So far, no luck. I've emailed and called customer service to ask what formats are supported - waste of time. The customer rep said this was only available on the BD-80 (despite what the manual states) Good luck.
