Sony Handycam DCR TRV530: http://www.google.com/products/cata..._catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4#ps-sellers

these would be converting from a very old handycam, from early 90s

If an Amazon reviewer is right you can use that camera to do this. But you need a FireWire 400/800 port for this to work.

Most Digital8 cameras have always been able to convert analogue 8mm tapes to digital, right from the start of the Digital8 range 10 years ago.
