Pros
Three-chip, close to broadcast quality.
Cons
No XLR mic inputs, key adustments via menus rather than physical dials, high price.
Recommended it?
Yes
When Sony gets a product right, they're often content to sit back and leave it alone. Such was the case with their very-popular DCR-VX1000 three-chip MiniDV camcorder, released in 1995 but not updated until the 2000 release of the DCR-VX2000. Although it's not the very first MiniDV camcorder to hit...

Pros
3CCD pickup, 2.5 LCD, good button locations, price
Cons
lower-quality lens, mic pickup
Recommended it?
Yes
The Sony TRV900 is the most affordable 3CCD DV camcorder in Sony's line. It does not have the supreme quality of it's older siblings such as the VX2000, however it is a solid 3CCD camcorder.
I'm currently shooting a feature length video for a Production company on the TRV900. I've worked...

Pros
Compact size, easy operation, versatile lighting options, superb picture/audio quality,...
Cons
Must purchase other items to produce DVDs.
Recommended it?
Yes
We purchased a TRV280 to record the antics of our new daughter. We looked at reviews, prices, and features of this camcorder to make our purchase. We decided on this model.
It is well laid out control-wise. You can go from standby to record in the press of one button. A slide-switch...

Pros
IEEE 1394/USB ports, Digital 8 compatible
Cons
Larger than Mini-DV, still uses tapes.
Recommended it?
Yes
First question, why buy a Digital 8 camcorder? You buy a Digital Camcorder because you have a previous 8mm, Hi-8 or Digital 8 camcorder, or because you want a Digital camcorder without the cost of Mini-DV or the newer DVD camcorders.
In my case, this is my second Digital 8 camcorder. I...
