  • TRV80: Last of the “good” Sony consumer camcorders

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 30, 2004
    Pros: Great video quality, large LCD, good widescreen mode, good build quality.
    Cons: Lack of manual audio level control, must use menu for manual exposure and fader.

    Summary: The TRV80 & 70 (and 50, 30, 20 & 10 before them) occupied that “middle ground” between consumer (TRV39 and below, and new HC65 and below) and true prosumer camcorders (TRV900, 950, VX2000, 2100, and the new HC1000). As a single CCD camcorder, ... read more

  • A really excellent camcorder

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 6, 2004
    Pros: Analogue in/dv out facility. Steadyshot. Excellent picture quality.
    Cons: Bottom tape loading a bit fiddly. Zoom control requires a delicate touch.

    Summary: Attracted by the all advantages offered by 'digital video' I looked at the reviews for dv camcorders. A long term Sony fan I soon settled on the TRV50 - the camcorder of the year. As this was in the process of being superceded by the TRV80 I decided to ... read more

    Pros: Genuine widescreen CCD, every feature possible, well built
    Cons: Slightly chunky, fiddly controls, bottom-loading tape makes tripod use harder, a few quirks

    Summary: -- quick update October 2004 I've now lived with the '80 for 15 months or so, and so have a few more observations, and will correct a few typos too. I've used it extensively to capture my newborn son who's now 9 months old, so its been used under a ... read more

    Pros: Big LCD. Lots of trinkets.
    Cons: downloaded video on computer is dark. Must carry manual for a while.

    Summary: A little pricey but overall a good quality camcorder. I have taken good quality stills along with the video. Night filming is great if you want to prove to the wife that she really DOES snore! This camcorder has so many things that it can do that you

    Pros: Small, Light Weight & Easy to Use
    Cons: Price

    Summary: I received this camera for my birthday this year. I love it. I am so shocked at all the features. I don't even use my digital camera anymore. I can take still pictures and videos. What more can you ask for. I love that you use a touch screen, which

    Pros: Size, Features, Built in Flash, Stills and Video
    Cons: Stills are only 2.0, Stylus gets lost,

    Summary: I bought my last Sony analog video camera 10 years ago and used a minolta aps for stills. Finally wanted to upgrade to digital, but didn't want two separate gadgets, so shopped around for two in one. Very please with the results. Built in flash
