So far, I have tried 3 different Sony camcorders with

So, if I apply a scope to the iLink port on the camera, what
should I see if it were working? Will a scope give any reliable
indication that the port is working?

Yes, but that port has 400 MHz data, it won't be visible on
just ANY 'scope. Better to try plugging into a Macintosh (and
if iMovie shows video, you know it's only a software issue).
