Yes, it has miniDV right in the title. Great little but old tech camera. Excellent for getting things to other formats.

Hard drive or or a solid state option like the kiPro from AJA unless you actually want to use tape and capture the footage digitally. Should be known that the hard drive option may not work for miniDV version of this camera only the nxcam version of this camera.

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.

no, only to VHS, and that's not even reliable. Mine would quit recording before the programmed stop time, and this was when it was still pretty much brand new. (within 2-3 months)

You can record and re-record MiniDV tapes, but each time you record, the quality decreases. Professionals (and semi-professionals) never re-record because of this, but it is certainly possible.

I have used almost all types of Mini-DV tape in several different cameras and could not tell any difference.

The manual only shows instructions for recording to the vcr. I would say no.

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

NO. This camera does not take video. This is a really old model that is over 10 years old. It's a great film camera, but your question implies you want a modern digital camera with video capabilities. This is not that camera.

Yes. If your cam takes mini tapes, then it should be able to accept the cleaning tape.

No. Just on vhs-c. Also 8 mm is a totally different format. Hope that helps

No your camera hast to at least playback. This unit does not accept cassettes. Also please disregard some of the negative comments on here. I see several people stating that transferring analog to this unit that the picture is not so good. However, they most likely failed to put the burner into the highest quality setting to fit more on the DVD. I have used 2 different brands of VCR's, A Samsung, mini DV camcorder hooked up via firewire, a Sony CX110 HD camcorder hooked up via USB and several SD memory cards taken with a Kodak camera and have had no trouble with any transfers as of yet.

Yes it does. I've had this recorder for a number of years and use it extensively. I recommend it for anyone who makes DVD'S directly from a camcorder.

Yes, this camcorder has an external mic input, Stereo Mini jack, and a headphone jack.

Yes, it does. We have used this camera for quite a few years and are quite pleased with it. I believe cameras using tapes instead of memory chips are not being manufactured.

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