camera and the manual has gotten lost.

the camera is several years old and i havent been able to find a manual for
it, even on the sony site. the camera still works but i dont want to lose
the current film.

if i purchase a new model camcorder will my old tapes play?

what should i look for in a new camera, that is perhaps under $500. can a
good one be gotten for that?

thanks.

The current TRV480 Digital8 camcorder can also play back Video8 and Hi8
analog recorded video tapes. I think it lists for around $350.

keep all your old video tapes. The versatile DCR-TRV480 allows you to play
all of your old 8mm and Hi8 video tapes. For all your video recording
needs,...
