CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW: CNET editors cover the Next Big Thing
                
Digital8 camcorders are alive and well
January 8, 2005; 12:22 p.m.
 The product: Thanks to low, low prices, Digital8-based camcorders remain a strong player in the market. Sony has considerably pared back on its Digital8 line, but the two new models, the DCR-TRV280 and TRV480, continue the tradition of bare-bones video for a rock-bottom price. They both use 480,000-pixel CCDs and sport on-camera night lights and 20X optical zoom lens. The TRV480 provides the step-up capabilities of still photo capture and a touch screen. The price: The two camcorders will be available in February for about $300 (TRV280) and $350 (TRV480). The prospects: They're really cheap with mass-market appeal. That should be enough to guarantee Digital8's lingering on for yet another year. By Lori Grunin, senior editor, CNET Reviews CES DEBUTS BY BRAND
