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

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. 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 »

Bad engineering in Sony's DCR-SR camcorder line

bycamerauser2008 Aug 14, 2008
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros None
Cons Engineering flaw rendering the camera useless after only a few minutes of filming.
Recommended it? No

As readers will find by searching the internet, and much to my chagrin, this camera and it's kin in Sony's DCR-SR line have an engineering flaw with the connection between the camera body and the touch screen.

I used the camera to record a total of 36 minutes of video. During the 1st 5... Read full review »
