byradioguy Mar 18, 2001
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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.

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... Read full review »

bybd_lin Jul 16, 2004
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros OK in low light, Long Battery life, features like steady shot, night shot
Cons Zoom control touchy
Recommended it? Yes

I researched camcorders for this price range and decided that the Sony TRV70 was the best/safest choice.After a month of use, I am happy with the choice.

The purpose of the camcorder is to take home video, so I wanted something simple to use and easy to carry around.
