THIS REVIEW IS NOT FOR THE DCR-TRV10, BUT RATHER THE PC-100

Pros: Easy to use, Light and fits in a camera Bag
Cons: Some functions can not be used in anti-ground record mode

I bought TRV10 about 8 months back and used in all my vacations starting from Florida to Las Vegas. The good part of this camera is its picture and audio quality. You wont regret its quality even during night time. Coming to digitial camera functions,...

Pros: Lightweight, excellent video quality, great feature set
Cons: Expensive; still images poor quality

Sony's DCR TRV10 is the latest in its line of digital video recorders and has been touted as a complete solution for both video and still pictures. While it certainly lives up to the first half of the promise, the second half is a bit of a stretch.

Pros: Small and takes great pictures
Cons: Hard to use all of the software it is capable of.

Very compact digital camcorder fits in any large coat pocket and can accompany you anywhere(6.5L x 2.5W x 4.5H). I love to take the camera everywhere with me, especially to my children's events. The images are crisp and clear. A very diverse camera, it...

Pros: Easy to use, great manual, great zoom, fine video quality, easy to dupe.
Cons: The unit may not last beyond 3 years.

My first camcorder, purchased in May 2002 for $299 at Best Buy. Worked great first time out of the box, clear sharp image, manual easy to use and understand, images easily duped on to my VCR for keeping. Windy days outdoors meant lots of noise on the audio (so don't go out on windy days-sduh!) The battery it came with had a short life, but the 90minute battery purchased a year later has done yeoman service and holds well over 2 hours with a charge. The heartreaker is that in Fall 2005 I started seeking streaks in the images during playback, which the manual attrbitues to dirty heads, but cleaning them (with a cassette and by techician) did not help, so the choice dame down to: spend more to fix this than you pay for a new one. Three good years of trouble-free service, then away it goes to the great beyond.

i used this at my sons hockey games and its easy to carry and hold.i am temped to buy them for my brothers and let them enjoy the awsomeness of this camcorder.And the price is great!

We have used this sony camcorder for so many activities and projects in our Local church activities and it has been Huge. Technology at it's best. We also used other brand camcorders but after using the sony its no comparison. I would for sure recommend buying a sony camcorder, especially to all my family and friends which I already have.

ALL FEATURES ARE EASY TO USE, BATTERY LIFE IS GREAT, EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT IN A HI 8 CAMCORDER.SONY HAS THE GREATEST ERGONOMICS OF ANY CAMOCORDER ON THE MARKET WITH THE BALANCE OF TECHNOLOGY AND EASE OF USE YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS UNIT.
