Hello

I own a SONY DCR TRV 33 E camcorder and a significant number of mini DV tapes that I wish to digitize.

Unfortunately, my camcorder no longer works and cannot read the tapes. I haven't found any repair services, so I'm looking for a second-hand camcorder, but I cannot find the exact same model.

MY QUESTION: What camcorders (or other products) from SONY or other brands are capable of reading mini DV tapes so I can digitize them?

I thank you in advance for your advice.

    thank you, fool

    How can I be sure that it reads mini DV tapes with an ilink cable?
    Additionally, the seller specifies that it is to be repaired.
    I continue my investigations.

      Ok, I was attracted by the price and "very good condition" to your question: the mini DV camcorders all have a DV output to connect to an ilink (IEEE1394) input of a PC and an analog output with RCA yellow and 5-pin S-video.
