Sony's Digital8 camcorders/decks oversharpen analog sources, exaggerating inherent noise and causing artifacts on edges. The Sony Hi8 cam I have does the same thing.
My expensive TEAC V-800G-F deck outputs a soft picture, truer to a neutral setting, IMO.

Tiny LCD screen = noise is hidden. If you downscale your capture to the resolution of the LCD, it will look about the same.

I'm using a Sony DCR-TRV320 straight to firewire port on my computer, then capturing with VirtualDub (LS's latest version with all the filters). Tried DNR off and on, also TBC off and on. Also tried the TRV320 to my Avermedia M791 combo card via S-Video, using VDub.

We recommend capturing lossless via S-Video, not DV-converted.
