Like all the Digital8 camcorders, the Sony CCD-TRV510 is a bit larger than comparable mini DV camcorders. But the extra size buys you backward compatibility with your existing Hi8 or 8mm videotapes, however. Add a computer with IEEE 1394 FireWire or i.LINK and you have a direct path to load your old analog video onto your PC in the DV format. Then, once you've digitized your 8mm video, you're ready for nonlinear editing.
I've found the TRV-510 to serve as as a fine movie camera when car camping in Alaska to the tropics of the Cayman Islands. For best shots I recommend using a tripod as the auto focus isn't perfect yet comes very close.
