Product Description

Product Description

A portable MiniDV format recorder, with integrated 4-inch color LCD display / Memory Stick, i.LINK(R) & USB ports

Amazon.com

The Sony GV-D1000 video walkman does it all, recording as a digital VCR using the MiniDV format, while also playing back people's favorite clips on the included 4-inch LCD screen. The MiniDV format is a favorite among digital videographers, as it offers three times the color bandwidth of traditional VHS video, giving it enhanced clarity and realism. The device also includes a memory stick media terminal, to which a user can record digital still images in 640 x 480 resolution from videotapes, through the analog input, and from digital video. The memory stick makes it easy to transfer images to personal computers for e-mailing, printing, or sharing with other digital devices. The recorder also includes an iLink output for direct transfer between two devices equipped with an IEEE 1394 interface, such as computers, camcorders, or digital VCRs.

Other features include an MPEG movie memory mode--which captures compressed MPEG1 video with audio onto a memory stick--a USB port that delivers streaming video over the Internet, and an editing mode for manipulating up to 20 scenes. Users can convert analog NTSC video to digital format through the analog inputs, or directly to a PC using the iLink interface. The GV-D1000 doesn't skimp on audio, either, offering 12-bit/16-bit recording that sounds as clear as a compact disc.

Users will also appreciate the crystal-clear pause mode and slow motion playback, along with the playback zoom that allows editors to enlarge, crop, and resize images. The unit also includes an index titler for creating movie titles and a built-in 4k integrated circuit memory chip.

What's in the Box
GV-D1000 digital video walkman, AC power adapter, AV cables, remote control, two AA batteries, CD-ROM drivers (Pixela, ImageMixer 1.0), user's manual.

Amazon is a place of discussion of product situation.
I love that the viewing of the product is clear. I dislike it came incomplete. Lacking was the DV cable, and no information or a picture of the kind or size of Memory stick it used, no picture or idea was given to me, so I spent lots of money ordering the wrong items. I wanted to record video off from the mini DV to a good storage system. I was informed it would have at least one of these things. I did not do a review then, because I was away and had not taken a picture of the Sony Product., and I already bought video cameras not realizing they were also without the DV cable. So this was another blow to me again.

4.0 out of 5 stars A surprising good shopping experience

I received the the Sony mini DV player in very good working condition, although I was surprised to get it without the battery charger/converter to AC. I contacted the seller and he immediately offered to purchase one for me. He did and I received it a few days later. What I thought it was going to be a battle, turned out to be a good experience. I was impressed with the seller's right attitude and customer service. I will definitely consider buying from him again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small Mini-DV Deck
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021
Verified Purchase
This machine works with my mini-dv tapes, good value although older tech these days with newer equipment. It is a very compact editing deck in a small package. Cords, printed manual were included. No extra battery or controller were in the box which would have been nice. For used equipment this was in good condition.

1.0 out of 5 stars This item is an old model and does not do ther same functions as a new model. I'm very un happy.

I purchased this item from a third party. The item is an old model and does not perform like a newer model even having the same model number(gv-D1000). I spent $640 on this used item and I have wasted my money. I'm very displease with the sellers not bring out this point about the product being an older model. The newer model has many more features and does what I want it to do. A close friend has a newer model and that's what sold me on the item. When I recieved this item and tried to do the same as my friends I could not do this. I called Sony and they informed me the older models would not do the same as the newer ones I realize the new model cost $800 more than what I spent for this used one. Well all in all I'm very displease with the seller for not bring out this point.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hope it lasts
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017

Order was processed and delivered promptly and included necessary cables and power cord. I realize it’s subjective but contrary to seller rating as as being in 'very good' condition, I’d honestly rate it 'fair' at best. Based on appearance, the item looks very well used with scuff marks on the casing and a couple of missing screws. The unit does play back videos so I just hope I get a decent amount of use from it for what was paid.

It eventually jammed up, but I was able to get through enough of my old tapes for this unit to pay for itself twice, versus hiring a video transfer service.

Literally having about two hundred plus mini DVs that must be transfered for digital editing, this item is much in demand. The heads will wear down though if there is a lot of fast forward viewing. Very pricy but was a necessity. I wish they still made them new.
