Seeing this list was created in 2007, are there ANY currently available camcorders with analog input?

Yay or Nay on the JVC GR30DA??? I thought it would but judging by the list im taking it as a no.

I have a Dazzle but its being a pain in my side currently.

This is a very helpful list.
I have been compiling a list of sony DV cams with analog input:
DCR-TRV310 (no passthrough)
DCR-HC30 (yes passthrough)
DCR-HC32 (? passthrough)
DCR-HC40 (? passthrough)
DCR-HC42 (? passthrough)
DCR-HC85 (? passthrough)
DCR-HC90 (? passthrough)
DCR-HC96 (yes passthrough)

BUT, the analog input on my HC96 just stopped working recently.
anyone have a similar problem? solution?

I have used a Sony DCR PC105E for recapturing old Hi8 tapes onto the PC hard drive. Had to use an old Hi8 camera connected to the DV camera, then output to PC, all worked a treat!

I’ve been using my Sony mini DV DCR-TRV17E to convert VHS and other formats to DV for over 7 years and I wouldn’t use anything else. I have tried various capture cards and the quality is way below what the camera outputs.

I have an old Canon ZR-10. Does this have “pass through” or digital VCR capability. Thanks,

I’ve been hunting for a camcorder that can do DV-to-Analog pass-through so I can monitor my video editing projects on an external television monitor as I work. Do you know if the cameras you review work both ways? The can turn analog to digital, but can they turn digital to analog?

Thanks.
