Yes, most analogue camera's have an AV output. It may have a special small plug and an adapter ending in 3 phono plugs. Red=Right audio, White=Left audio, and Yellow= composite video.
Most Digital TV's have AV inputs, which you can select from the menu.
Connect the cable to the TV, select the correct AV in, play the camera. It should now show on the screen.
Sony has a wide range of camcorders, some digital some not. If you are looking for digital there are such ones as the HDR-TD10 or the HDR-P150V. If you are looking for analog then there is the CCD-TRV67 Hi-8 analog camcorder.
The difference would be about the same as the jump from VHS to DVD (if it's a miniDV camcorder) or from VHS to bluray (if it's a 720p or better digital camcorder.)
Yes, this camcorder is capable of taking still digital photos as well as recording video.
This depends on what your most concerned with. If it's picture and sound quality, then you'd be better off with a digital camcorder. If it's affordability of the unit and accessories (tapes, batteries, etc.) then this Hi8 camcorder might be the better pick for you.
Analog and digital video record their data completely different, so they are not compatible with each other. Analog video actually saves pictures on the tape. Digital video converts the pictures to 1s and 0s, savinf that data. Digital camcorders record and play the 'computerized' 1s and 0s, converting it into the original pictures, and so they cannot read an analog tape.

To import analog video into your Mac you will need an analog to digital converter (See links below). Ensure that the converter's out connector will match your Mac's input (USB2 or FireWire) .
An DAC convert digital signal to analog signal i.e Digital to Analog Converter. An ADC convert analog signal to digital signal i.e Analog to Digital Converter.
No, not if the old tapes are in analog rather than digital format. See the review of this DCC at http://www.easycamcorders.com/content/Quick-Review-Camcorder-Sony-DCR-TRV280.htm: "How ... am I going to watch those [old analog] tapes?... Not here, you re not. The DCR-TRV280 does not read analog 8mm. For that, you need to step up to the DCR-TRV480." Also see review at http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Sony-DCR-TRV280-Camcorder-Review.htm These reviews were somewhat disparaging, however Consumer Reports, in their 2007 Buying Guide, called this unit a Best Buy (p. 233). It seems to me to be the cheapest way to get into digital video with a reasonably high quality and versatile camera. No, not if the old tapes are in analog rather than digital format.

Analog signals, such as sound or light, are converted into digital form through a process called analog-to-digital conversion. This process involves quantizing the continuous analog signal into discrete, digital values represented by binary numbers. Once in digital form, the signal can be processed, stored, and transmitted more efficiently and accurately.
