Sony DCR-TRV900

Pros: Easy to use, great quality, edit yourself

Cons: wide-angle lens not worth the money

Review: I bought the sony trv-900 to make some videos and edit them on our computer and my experience with it has been great. Unlike the somewhat more professional canon xl-1, you can just turn it on and shoot your footage without assembling the microphone...

Pros: Picture Quality, Dependability, Size, Accessories

Cons: Manual focusing, tends towards blue in shade

Review: I bought the PD100A (the same as the TRV900 but a different color and only made of the best components). I'm not going to go over the features; you probably know them by reading about the description page. I absolutely love this camcorder and think...

Pros: RELIABLE. STURDY. Beautiful, natural color. Great in low light. Clear sound. Super-sharp LCD screen.

Cons: Will not work as a pass through device in transferring from analog source to computer

The Bottom Line: Probably the favorite camera buy of my life - certainly the most expensive. The pictures and sound are truly comparable to broadcast quality

Review: I have owned a SONY TRV900 for over 5 years since September 1999. I keep it clean and dry and occasionally run the Sony cleaning tape through it. It has never needed serving or repair. The pictures are phenomenal. Absolutely beautiful, clear color...

Pros: Unsurpassed image quality; high-end digital camcorder; reliable.

Cons: Photo mode's highest resolution is 640x480 (340K pixels).

The Bottom Line: Dollar for dollar, this is the best camera for the money, in terms of image quality, durability, and feature set.

Review: I bought the Sony DCR-TRV900 CamCorder in December 1999, and after nearly 2 years, I still think this was one of the best purchase decisions I have made. The TRV900 has proven to be a high-quality, reliable product.

I bought this camcorder...

Pros: Arguably the best picture among digital camcorders, features, standard accessories

Cons: Looks, low resolution of still pictures, low digital zoom

The Bottom Line: You can spend more money and get better looking camcorder, but it is highly unlikely that it will perform better than TRV900.

Review: The Sony DCR-TRV900 MiniDV digital camcorder is not cheap. But it produces arguably the best video quality among MiniDV camcorders, and you can see why ? it provides professional-grade picture using goodies like three CCDs with more...

Pros: 3CCD, overall pictures quality, good (optional) batteries, a host of accessories available, NTSC Playback

Cons: standard battery, slight blueish color balance

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Sony DCR-TRV900 for anyone looking for a high quality home video, as well as professionals who want a discrete yet high quality camcorder for their tasks.

Review: Overview

This camcorder is Sony?s high-end consumer (prosumer) unit with performance that rivals professional camcorders. It features 3CCD (versus 1 on lower models), progressive scan mode, optical image stabilizer, large 3.5? LCD screen,...

Pros: Compact, Nice Screen, and Great Video.

Cons: Not as many manual controls as its big brother and no 30fps progressive scan video.

The Bottom Line: This is the best of both worlds: compact and excellent video.

Review: I still remember my first experience with camcorders. It was an old full sized VHS Memorex camcorder my family baught when I was 12. Now I'm 25 and boy have camcorders changed. No more analog, all digital now! Of recent years I have had an...

Pros: great quality picture

Cons: tape ejection problems

Review: I purchased this product in June of 2000 to celebrate my high school graduation and for use in my aspiration to become a film maker. I think it's a great camera, and has served my purposes well, but one thing is plaguing this model: mini-DV tapes...

Pros: Excelent value for extreme quality.

Cons: Not as robust and durable as cameras priced 8 times more.

The Bottom Line: If you are serious about video shooting there is simply no better choice at this time for a near pro-quality video camera at a relatively affordable budget.

Review: If you have always wanted to produce videos for more then just family re-union or home movies but are not yet established in the world of professional Video production, this is the camera for you.

Sony TRV900 is one of the most affordable...

Pros: Broadcast quality video. 3 CCDs. Rocker zoom control. Optical steady shot.

Cons: No nightshot. Almost 4 years old.

The Bottom Line: Want broadcast quality video that weights in less than 2lbs? Look no further, the Sony DCR-TRV900 is for you.

Review: Over the years, I've owned several Sony camcorders. From Hi8 to the recent Sony DCR-PC115 I just purchased a couple of months ago. Even though I was happy with the DCR-PC115, I find it very hard to hold especially when I am trying to film my newborn...
