I bought this Sony TRV9E duty free for 193,000 yen. Since it' an international model I
can't watch it on the TV screen, but I rewatch everything I film. The best thing I
recorded was a friend and I dressed up playing guitar and singing.

I've recorded, our arrival in Tokyo from the sky.

This is a Sony Steady Shoot and I paid USD900 for it. I usually watch my three holidays
again. The best of all was the Grand Canyon.

Mine's a Sony Video 8 for which I paid USD600. I usually sit down twice a year with
friends and go through what I've filmed. Our favorite is my wife pulling faces in
Singapore.
