Pros: Lightweight, Big LCD Screen than most other
Cons: Blurry pictures, fuzzy video

What a nightmare this camera is! I went on a quick trip to Orlando this weekend with some out of towner friends and able to coax my friend Sony DCR-TRV10 for the trip. For the money he paid for this thing, I could have bought two other cameras that I...

Pros: Memory Stick, Manual Controls, Video In Record, Very good quality video
Cons: Lens size isn't standard making it almost impossible to find lenses or adapters

Having used the Sony DCR-TRV10 camcorder for about a year I've seen that the quality of Sony dv camcorders is much better than any other brand. This camera has all the features that you'd need to do anything. It's size is bigger than that of the JVC...

Pros: Memory Stick, Picture Quality
Cons: Need flash for dark room

We bought this prior to the birth of our son. I looked at several different digital video cameras and came to the conclusion that this one would be most useful for us.

Pros:
1) Takes excellent quality video, you can see the difference...

Pros: size, night vision, still photos
Cons: overwhelming, pricey

If you can afford the sony DCR-TRV10, it is a great camcorder. (By the way, I have seen the price vary by several hundred $$$ so shop around and wait for sales) This looks identical to the TRV8 but adds the memory stick feature which basically adds a...

Pros: Digital Still Image, all sony plus's

In recent models Sony definately has moved in the right direction for it's Camcorders. With the popularity of DV cameras and Digital still cameras, Sony has taken the steps to combine them together. The TRV10 is a great example of this, it is a full...

Pros: High quality video
Cons: memory card pictures are useless, still a far cry from professional video

Pros: Size, image quality, battery life
Cons: On-off switch, memory stick not Mac-friendly (so far)

After significant research, I chose this video camera to film the days leading up to the birth of my daughter and her following four months. It wasn't the cheapest by far, but it does have all the features you could want. So far, I've been very happy...

Pros: Small size, lightweight, Memory Stick. SONY quality
Cons: Heavier than the PC1, maximum resolution is 640X480 (72 dpi) - great for electronic use ( a monitor can only display 72 dpi!) and images up to about 4X5, but most print houses squawk about anything less than 300 dpi. SONY price

I have been using the DCR TRV10 for about six months now, and have found it to be superior in features, usability, and flexibility.

We use digital images quite a bit for training and documentation purposes...the costs (in monetary, time, and...

Pros: The memory stick option makes it more versatile than ever
Cons: the tapes still only go one hour

Sony has always been at the forefront of bleeding-edge camcorder technology. Aside from the LCD screen incorporated by Sharp into their camcorders, almost any option you see on a camcorder now came from the minds at Sony. After seeing this miracle in...

Pros: Sexy
Cons: None

This is a review of the Sony DCR PC 100E, a totally different camcorder that doesn't have a category at present. I give it my maximum recommendation. It has 1 megapixel for still images, which is bucketloads. It has a totally cool look, better than any...

Pros: many features, good quality video
Cons: obsolete
