yes it can, thats why minidv is in the name - have one, its complex and not HD but brings a real film like quality to the video if you get everything right...

Yes, the Sony HC-7 will play standard miniDV tapes from other cameras if they are recorded in the normal SP speed mode. I've done it. The HC-7 can also record in SDTV mode.

Sony made a DV mini tape player/recorder. Model #Sony DSR-25 DVCAM MiniDV Compact Desktop Player/Recorder-Firewire-NTSC/PAL. It has analog video and sound AND DV (Digital video and sound) outputs; that you can connect to VCR's or similar devices.They are often on eBay; but they usually go for under $200.00. There are also Sony DV camcorders; but they usually sell for more than the player/recorders above.If you do not wish to record any more, then I would strongly suggest you check out the Sony DSR-25. patdee

It uses minidv. To me it had been a major shortcoming as it has "eaten" some vital footage 3rd time using it due to time coding issues on the tape when stopping and starting frequently

Yes it does have loop and record older footage that you don't save or lock. If you have a big memory card the mor footage you can store. I have had camera for almost a year. Great camera for the price.

If you can hook up your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder, you should be able to convert your mini dv tapes. You need RCA output from your source to RCA input onto the DVD recorder.

mine records videos on tape and stills on sd card or if you have a Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch Video Capture Device you can record on your computer.

No, not directly. You can purchase a separate Sony recorder (uses CF cards) to mount to top of camera (approx $750). This gives you a tape backup (videotape) and the CF cards allow you to import the digitized files directly into your software/computer. Unless you are purchasing this camera at an extremely reduced price I would buy a camera that records directly to cards.

Yes the camera is capable of being used for recording, however the WANSCAM software that is included can not. I am using iSpy64 which has a lot of recording features (opensource software at ispyconnect.com)

Internally it has a micro sd card memory slot. It also has a USB cable output that might be kludged as an input to a recorder that uses mini dv tapes. I do not know if that would work.

No but it does record to sd card or flash drive and the sound quality is really good!

It records to DV tapes. But their are video USB cards that you can use to capture the video to your computer.
