In one years' ownership I had problem with its record feature. It was totally black. I asked it at Sony company in Ethiopia. They told me the problem is with its CCD measure IC. But I couldn't find it in our local market.
Please guide me on how I could get it.
Thank you

The Sony DCR-TRV145E PAL digital camcorder offers good quality recording and playback. It seems to be well made and pretty solid. One thing that impressed me was how much you can shake it about whilst recording without it affecting the picture, which is good for action sports, which is what I got it for. Oh, and it hasn't broken, which is rare for a Sony in my experience!
Battery life isn't as good as the old Samsung 8mm I had, but then it's running a colour screen and light and stuff. As long as you don't fast forward or rewind the tape you'll be alright I suppose. The real problem I found was the zoom slider. I don't know if I've got funny hands or something, but it's pain in the bottom to use, and being such a basic requirement, it has dropped my rating of the camera considerably.
It is a good camera, but my mate has bought a better one, so mine is redundant. It's had about 3 hours use and i am now selling it for £120 ono.

Please help me how to program my video camera, Sony DCR-TRV145E PAL on how to stand by non-stop. Example, if I switch on my camera, I want it to be continuesly on even if I'm not switching it off, or in other words, I don't want it automatically switching off by itself.

You said "TRV145E" can't be connected to PC! That's incorrect, I hope you are not going to be disappoint when he reads this. There is dv out on this camcorder which is pretty common for all digital cameras. I suppose you did not have a Firewire port on your PC. A Firewire adapter is cheep and easy to install.
