Here is some more info.
This Sony Digital8 Handycam camcorder is packed with features. It records high quality digital video and audio on readily available 8mm videotapes or Hi8 tapes. The DCR-TRV130 features a 2½ inch SwivelScreen color LCD, SteadyShot picture stabilization, built-in infrared light, Super NightShot 0-lux infrared recording, analog audio / video inputs to record Digital8, and more. The SteadyShot picture stabilization system uses motion sensors to counter unwanted picture shake and, with Sony's Hyper-Precision CCD, you're not sacrificing image size or picture quality. The Super NightShot 0-lux recording system allows you to shoot subjects in total darkness at a distance of up to 10 feet (3m) using the built-in infrared system. The DCR-TRV130 also automatically adjusts the shutter speed to increase picture brightness and clarity for even better picture quality. Super LaserLink allows the user to transmit video and audio via infrared to an optional IFT-R20 LaserLink receiver at a distance of up to 26 feet (8m). LaserLink eliminates the need for constantly connecting and disconnecting audio/video cables. The last thing you want to see is the cursed low-battery indicator flashing. Sony's Stamina power-management system cuts camcorder power consumption and extends the life of your batteries.
