Does this camera reads well tapes recorded in other cameras?

Yes, as long as the footage on the tapes is not HD. SD cameras cannot play tapes with HD footage.

By default it records in MTS. You probably can convert mts to any other format using a video converter.

Hi David, yes it records the audio as well. However I would suggest taking a look at the L2 model or the HD model

The camera records video on HDV videotapes (it can record on DV tapes). It does have a Sony Memory Stick slot that will store still pictures only (no video).

Yes it has video inputs and works well for transferring tapes, provided they're not copy protected. The only drawback to the unit is the flaky tuner which drops channels. For other recording it's fine.

No. It only can plays the tape. I don't know why it doesn't record voice even the VOR is on. Junk.

The audio for playback of what was recorded sounds fine and is adequate.I have not been able to test sending audio to the camera.

I encountered the same problem after I had transferred about 15 tapes. I cleaned the recorder/playback heads and that seemed to help but still was not right...so, I had another recorder that was not as old as the one I had been using and it worked great. Try cleaning the recorder/play back heads.

Hi Jennifer, It only records video. Although they quality is fairly decent enough for you to take stills from it. Hope that helps. Desi

Yes, these record on mini-dv tapes. They also have a slot for an sd-card. Quality and legnth of recording seem better on the tape.

Yes. It records both, and you can hear it immediately after you record it (in the "review mode"). (some cameras you can only hear audio once it's connected to the computer...not with this camera.)

NO ITS Better then that It Records on a Standard SD Card, BUT BE AWARE HD is large BUY the Fast Class 10 Red Gold Card for Optimal Speed Write Speeds. Its a Great Cam for Editing

No. The Camera Uses Mini DV Tapes To Record HDV or DV Video. Card Is There For Capture Of Still Shots Only. It's A Great Camera!

Actually, I have a laptop that reads an SD card. It is easy to just plug the card into my laptop and it plays the video. I have mine set to record when movement is detected. That setting is under the plate on the back. It overwrites the oldest recording when it needs to have more space. I just watch it when I suspect foul play. It worked right out of the box for me. Clay

There are two output interfaces, one is HDMI and the other is analog. The analog cable has the video and audio RCA plugs that are color coded yellow for video and the audio has a white and red for left and right channel stereo. Most VHS tape recorders have an analog input that will match this analog out, so you should be able to record the cameras output directly to a VHS tape.
