Sony DCR-TRV900 Camcorder -- Beginning to See the Light

byradioguy Mar 18, 2001

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... Read full review »

Afordable 3CCD, Great Quality, Solid price

byflindingo Aug 20, 2000
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
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 »

Great Camcorder!

bylmcgilli Jul 18, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros size, video quality, low light capability for the price
Cons zoom is awkward and over-sensitive with the small size
Recommended it? Yes

I am not a super user, but I am really happy with this camcorder so far. I bought it to video indoor horseback riding. So, I was concerned with low light environments. This camcorder outperformed my expectations. After reading most of the reviews on the lower end camcorders, I figured the video... Read full review »
