Hi cugumelo, welcome to the Sony Forums

I can't find a DVX-9000R among current or previous Sony cameras

I do hope it's not a DVX-900 you have (they usually look like this) as I'm afraid it is a well-known fake, not a Sony camera at all. I have no idea which memory card you would use for that; if it uses SD cards just get a good quality Class 6 or better – and make sure it's genuine branded one!

Cheers

Yes, that's the one. It's not a Sony camera

It's basically a tiny webcam lens and sensor, something like the camera on a cheap mobile phone, hidden behind a larger false front 'lens' glued to a big empty plastic body. It weighs so little, the people who make them apparently fix a thick metal plate inside the body to make them 'feel' more like a genuine camera.

You often see them with a 'Sony' badge stuck on the side, or 'Cansonic' or some other combination of quality brand names, but they're basically toy cameras made up to look like a 'proper' handycam and have no connection to these brands at all. They are the product of criminal counterfeiters who use the name 'Sony' fraudulently.

I have no idea if these devices even accept memory cards. If you're happy to spend more money on it and there's an SD slot somewhere, buy an SD card, but the results will not be anything like you would expect from a genuine Sony camera

Cheers
