Editorial Review:
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.

Rating: - A MUST HAVE if you own an expensive camcorder!
I am on my second Canon GL2 (2k camera) and my first XL2 (4k camera). The reason I am on my second GL2 is because the heads on the cameras just cannot handle being used as a VCR. To save your camera, Canon themselves (as well as other manufactures) always recommend purchasing a DV Deck or a cheaper camera to use for FF, RWND, Play, and Offloading to protect the heads. I purchased my Sony DV Walkman from Sony themselves and I purchased it for <$600 as a refurb. I LOVE IT!!! What a Deal! It is cheaper ... Read More
Rating: - Small, easy to use, convenient DV VTR
I have several of these units connected to a mixing board that is connected to a Macintosh. I do some basic editing on the computer and these VTRs are great. They don't take much desk space. The screen folds down for storage. They can read memory sticks. They have pause and frame by frame advance and backup. They have been completely maintenance free for at least two years. I don't know why other companies haven't tried to built one like this.
Rating: - A great camera saver and productivity booster
I've used many GV-D1000s both personally and professionally over the past 5 years and I'd have to say that it is one of the most valuable parts of my workflow. If you're shooting on mini-DV (SD), this is a must have -- especially for the price. I've used it to capture video with Avid, Premiere and Vegas and it has worked like a champ. It's been extremely reliable and I recommend this to anyone that doesn't have $10,000 to spend. Save your camera's head for shooting, not VTR-ing.

Rating:  - It's a SONY!
Since owning a miniDV camcorder and wishing there was a way of playing back tapes (on the TV) I've made without holding the unit in my hand 6ft from the television, this MiniDV Walkman is the answer to a prayer.
Although pricey, it does exactly as the description claims. I haven't owned it long, and although I've not tried any of the editing features it has, I can say that I'm pleased with its overall performance. As it also claims, the 4" monitor provides super clear viewing, and can be ... Read More
