Pros: Touch screen and lighted is convenient
Cons: Warranty and service
Summary: I bought this on July 30th with the expectation of it lasting awhile, a few years at least. I thought Sony was a good name. I didn't buy the extended warranty because it was 20% of the cost which I thought was too much. My JVC lasted over 7 years. I ... read more

Pros: Compact size, excellent image quality, touch panel LCD is fabulous, fast recharge time
Cons: Supplied software very poor, slow rewind times, USB 2.0 doesnt live up to its promise
Summary: The Sony DCR-TRV19 is the entry level model in the company's latest batch of MiniDV camcorders. Sony seem to have a somewhat mixed up strategy with its video camera range, while still pushing its own (and outdated) Digital8 format at the budget end, goin ... read more

Pros: Great picture quality even in poor lighting conditions, intuitive operation.
Cons: B & W viewfinder. A little short on manual features. LCD durability?
Summary: We just had the birth of our first baby in August. What does that mean? A propensity to spend money on things you would normally never buy. One of those things happen to be a digital camcorder. Although a Digital8 camcorder is almost half the price ... read more

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Won't last! You'd rather throw your money away!
Summary: We bought TRV-19 about 2 years ago. After modest use during this period, the camera stopped recording. It would play back but not record. SONY asks for $269 plus taxes to even look at it (that's 50% of the cost of the camera!). If you look around you
