Sony is discontinuing Digital8 camcorders and recent models lack desired features like:
-Hi8 to DV format playback
-Analog Pass through to DV format
You are better off buying a used older model with these features off Ebay or Craig'sList.
Another option is the GV-D200 or GV-D800 player which has these features.

but bestbuy have to give new Camcorder. it is in for sevice.
-
Don't understand. Is this a warranty exchange?
Must you have something that plays Hi8 and Digital8?
What models are they offering you?Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

None of the earliest models supported Analog Pass Through capture. It was a strong feature on mid to upper models in the 2001 to 2005 time frame. As MiniDV models came down in price during 2004-2006 this feature was withdrawn for all but the top line Digital8 models.
Recent Digital8 models have dropped both features. -
Here are some Good Digital 8 camcorders Sony DCR-TRV740, DCR-TRV840, DCR-TRV830, DCR-TRV840.

That is an unexceptable substittute for a dcr-trv480.

If that's all they're going to offer you then it's time to go over their heads and contact corporate. That's not even close to a replacement.

I call corporate and no help.

congratulations, you just got screwed by best buy!
dont worry you arent the first person they screwed with their service plans. -
If no joy from corporate, time to call your local news "watchdog" department.

These are Comparisons that are equal to your original dcr-trv480........I would take nothing less than JVC GR-D250 , Panasonic PV-GS19, Sony DCR-TRV280 ( this doesn't have the touch menu basically same unit).
-
Insist on an exact replacement for your dcr-trv480 (or better) even if it is reconditioned. Best Buy can get one from Sony. Don't accept anything less!!!!
Yell at them that the CCD-TRV138 won't play your Digital8 tapes. You are dealing with idiots so point out the obvious. -

I got is a JVC gz-mg130u for free. It cost $449.99. My com was $349.99

I wouldn't have accepted that one. It won't play your existing tapes and it doesn't record in DV. But if you're happy with it, what I would do doesn't matter.
