Hi

I have an old Sony CCD TRV78E Hi8 PAL cam lying around in one of my flats and I don't reckon I've ever used it but thrice when I bought it years ago, but have no idea how much its worth. Any advice on its price in the UK would be very helpful. All box and original accessories are pretty much untouched.

I couldn't find any decent link to it but this: http://www.epinions.com/Sony_CCD_TRV78E_HandyCam_Hi_8mm_Camcorder_for_PAL_ _Camcorder_CCDTRV78E/display_~full_specs

The TRV49E to TRV98E are from the same series. The pic there is not the 78E but something lower with 450x Digi zoom and 270k pixels. Mine has plus 300k.

It has 20x Optical zoom with 560x Digital zoom and a 2.5inch LCD screen with full color viewfinder. It gives upto 17 hours with the infoLithium battery life it runs and will give you 15 hours pretty much every time. It has a remote sensor, Steady shot, Lux Night shot, 10 capture modes, full editing and still shooting capabilities with effects capability onboard, many exposure levels, a backlight, a halogen lamp light and a nightshot light, 2 batteries NP-F330 (150 min full charge from empty) and NP-F950 (390 min full charge from empty), max recording time for the NP-F330 is 140minutes continuous and for the NP-F950 at 900minutes continuous. It has a pushable scrolling wheel for navigating the LCD screen with back-light. The viewfinder is on the left & rotates 180° to the lens side and 90° to the viewfinder side etc.

It includes A/V connecting cable, shoulder strap, case, lens cap, 21-pin adapter, wireless remote control, AC power adapter, all original manuals, paperwork and packaging.

So any idea's let me know.

Thanks.
