Author's Review
I was looking at for camcorder that had analog passthrough(convert old VHS tapes to DVD),could make still shots and wouldn't break my wallet.
I decided on the DCR-TRV460 and I'm very pleased with the quality of the video and the features.The Night Shot feature is incredible,I am able to capture objects in complete darkness although the picture has a green tint.
Converting old VHS tapes to DVD via my PC is a snap and the picture quality is outstanding.
The still shot feature is nice but don't expect great results due to the 640x480 res.
Another nice feature of the DCR-TRV460 is the amount of output connectors:downloading stills to your PC is a snap with USB and watching video on your TV or making copies is easy due to the RCA jacks.
