Amazing quailty on your HD TV

I have a large collection of DV and HD DV tapes and wanted a way to play them on my home entertainment system without hooking up my camera. The Sony Video Walkman is just the ticket. I hooked it up using a DVI cable and can play my HD DV tape in high definition on my TV with amazing results. I also have used it to edit my tapes with good success. It is very portable and compact. One great feature is the ability of extracting photos from your videos. This is a very functional and well engineered device. If you are a serious video photographer and use a DV camera, this device is well worth the investment.

Been waiting one of these for years its great finally getting to transfer all my old video

GVHD700 Sony Walkman as DVCAM

I bought the Walkman to use as a DVCAM for video editing. Problems were I had to get a 4-pin to 6pin Firewire cable to get it to work as a Macintosh compatable product. Sony's cables do not work with Mac's. The people were very helpful at J + R but even Sony didn't have the correct solution so it took 25 days to research and find the solution. I had to ask the staff at the TV station to help. Works great now.

Excellent Product... one of a kind and saves my cam's innards!

While expensive, this unit is not anywhere near the cost of monitor/load systems that will do the same thing. It works flawlessly out of the box and I use it to review material... then load up into my editors on my Mac. This saves the mechanisms in my video cameras (Some which cost more than $3500) from constant abuse, and allows me to be very quickly selective on the material I need to upload. An earlier review trashes Sony for not including a 1394 cable in the box, but virtually no manufacturer does, so it's really not an issue. There is also the problem of 4-4, or 4-6 pin cables that depend on the computer system you have. (The Sony GV-HD700 has a 4-pin out 1394... but my MAC is 6-pin which requires me to have the 4-6 pin). All in all, this is a very cost-effective product that does a LOT more than I'll ever use it for, but will fit the needs of anyone using mini-DV or mini-HDDV tapes. Five stars without reservation!
