'This camcorder functions like the smaller MiniDV camcorders, but allows the user to record to Digital8 tape and, as the TRV460 is backward compatible, 8mm and Hi8 tapes as well.'
'The DCR-TRV460 is capable of playing back 8mm, Hi8 and Digital8 video tapes for maximum convenience for those who have an existing library of analog cassettes.'
'The toggle looks quite small, and feels a little fragile to the touch'
'You can transfer the movies and the stills to your computer using a supplied USB cable, but it does not allow you to transfer full resolution quality video from your tape to your computer (you have to use Firewire for that).'
