I recently bought a DCR-TRV25(posted 7817 days ago)The camera works great - but a frustrating experience with the USB interface installation - we can send men to the moon and digitize the planet's landscape yet we can't send a digital serial stream from one item to another without a 3 hour installation nightmare only to find our the product "chooses" not to support Windows 98. (Why?) I know there is no good reason for this because I am an electronics product engineer myself.
I'm going back to my film camera and scanner for photos until these folks figure out how to make a product that does not take up as much of my time to install as the product is worth to begin with - I have in essence paid for it twice with my time and it still does not work. Windows is nothing but a "yearly subscription" to those gullible enough to follow it. Unfortunately there are product suppliers that seem to support this unwanted obsolecence.
If anyone has a Windoes 98 USB driver for this camera with photo editing s/w please let me know.
