The Sony Digital8 tape models (DCR-TRV520, 530) are good. The earlier

bad, their low-lux performance was excellent.

THANK you for the heads up there!! Thats a life saver!

The digital 8s have the cap problems too.
At least a lot of them did. Brother had one, friend had 2 - all
digital 8, and all with cap failures. One under warrantee.

So what did they replace them with? Assuming another brand?

I think my brother just gave up on video, until he bought the Canon
digital camera theat will take JPEG videos on the SD card.
Friend also gave up on dedicated video camera - and I just use my
panasonic digital camera for any video I need.The batteries for my JVC
Compact VHS never lasted more than a year - I think the camera is
still gathering dust somewhere around here.

Dig it out and Ill send you $10 for it.
