Sony Handycam CCD-TRV37 (CCD-TRV37E) Battery

Pros: Color LCD Swivel Screen, lightweight and easy to use.
Cons: LCD Screen hard to see when you're outside in the sun.

We purchased our Sony Handycam a year ago to replace our 12 year old RCA camcorder. We got the Sony CCD-TRV37 on sale at Sears and we haven't been disappointed with it yet.

This is the first camcorder I have owned that had a LCD...

Pros: light, easy to hold and dial, good battery life
Cons: B&W viewfinder, no remote, have to charge in camera

Sony has been making great camcorders for over 10 years now. Therefore just prior to my son being born almost 4 years ago, I didn’t hesitate to buy a Sony to capture all the great memories to come. Well in those four years the video camera had been...

Pros: easy to use, lightweight, inexpensive, lots of features
Cons: I have not found any

A few months ago while browsing the electronics department I came across the camcorder section and suddenly it hit me: I must have one of these. It took me about 4 months of hint dropping and flat out whining before I convinced my husband that I really...

Pros: numerous features, great price
Cons: none to date

With so many camcorders on the market these days, it's mind boggling to say the least. How does one choose which camcorder to purchase? My husband and I went through this dilemma on numerous occasions. We've been looking at camcorders now for about 3...

Pros: It's really easy to use, has a 200X Zoom, great picture, special features, nightshot...
Cons: No Steady Shot

This little Camcorder is great; I got it for Christmas so I didn't know what the price was, but considering what it does...it's great! First of all it has that sleek silver shine to it, with a swivel color LCD-viewfinder (which is great)!

You...

Pros: Price, easy to use, color LCD screen with sound
Cons: None

My husband and I had been looking around for a reasonably priced camcorder for sometime when we came across this model of Sony. We had pondered other brands but none of them seemed to meet our expectations. We knew we wanted an LCD screen to shoot all...

Pros: 2.5 inch color Lcd, Night shot, Longer battery life
Cons: low digital zoom, Charger is built into the camera

The first thing you should know is that I don't personally own this camera. My experience comes from selling camcorders. The Sony TRV37 is a great choice for anyone.
People with young children will enjoy that the lcd screen swivels around so that...

Pros: Great Price
Cons: Not Many Features

Very often manufacturers create very similar models which
are priced not so similarly. The CCD-TRV37 and CCD-
TRV57 are a good example of this. These two camcorders
are very very similar, with one of the few differences being
a more...

Pros: Light-weight, Smooth motion, picks up far sounds, powerful night-vision
Cons: No steady-shot, auto shut-off can be very annoying when setting up scenes.

This product was one of the best gifts I've gotten, partially because it's easy to use. The picture quality I'm sure can be better on more expensive models, but for the price I've seen them sell for, it gives an amazing picture.
The camcorder's...

Pros: Night Shot, Built in Light, Affordability
Cons: Low light video quality, sound quality, image stabilization

I purchased the TRV37 shortly after having my first child. I was looking for something under $400 that would give me good picture quality and sound. The features of this product are extensive, at least for a novice like myself. This is my first...

Pros: Good Price, Good Brand
Cons: Always focusing and adjusting to get a clearer image

When I use the CCD-TRV37 Handycam, I have to take a few minutes before recording to set the camcorder according to what I plan on taping. The problems I have experienced is if I am recording inside I set the exposure setting to indoors but most of the...

Pros: Size, PRICE!, Sony name
Cons: No image stablization

I purchased the Sony CCD-TRV37 to make skate videos and other interesting things. The market for "cheap" (under $500) Camcorders is HUGE. Start looking, like I did, and you will be overwhelmed by thousands of models from many different...

Pros: Great Value for the Money
Cons: Lacks image stabilizer and other features costing hundreds more

After checking many reviews on various camcorders, my wife and I decided on Sony (check out Consumer Reports buyers guide) for the best entry level camcorder value on the market. Then after reviewing numerous epinions on several models, we recently...

Pros: Price, Nightshot, LCD Screen
Cons: B/W viewfinder, Sony Support, Sony Warranty

Face it, 8mm is dead. I bought this camcorder about a year ago with naive thoughts that the camcorder will perform to my expectations. I've seen better video quality on '87 Full Size VHS recorders. The Nightshot is great, but I've never used it yet....

Pros: Okay to use, okay nightshot
Cons: Major issues with Cassette DECK & power

Day 100 after purchase, the cassette deck would not close.
we would insert the cassette and it would pop out again.
Out of Warranty since retailer said it was 90 days in warranty, paid over $100 plus S&H in repairs to SONY.

Day 120,...
