I like it even better now that I own one I wrote a review after I had decided to purchase the DCR-TRV900 (see "Great for a Mac DV user"). Since then, I've had a few e-mails asking how it works in practice.I have no trouble capturing video from my TRV900 to my Apple PowerBook G3 "Bronze." What I thought I expected was the size of DV video clips -- 16GB (yes, gigabytes) for one hour of video with sound. I ordered a 37GB drive, and now have an additional 75GB drive on backorder. Keep that in mind if you decide t...

You can't go wrong with this one! I decided to get this camcorder for the better picture (3CCD) and slew of excellent features versus some cheaper models. I have not had reason to regret my choice! I do action photography and have actually been able to capture some stills off it that are quite impressive. Nowhere near as colorful and crisp as my Canon SLR can give me, but quite useable. And without the cost and time of having to take a slew of photos, develop them, print them and scan them in. Don't be fooled by cameras that mig...

Understated... I have owned the trv900 for over a month now. I bought it instead of the VX 1000/2000 because of the smaller size and price. (about half the size of the vx2000 and 2/3 the price.) It has a 52mm lens front, color viewfinder, 3.5" LCD screen, and of course 3 CCDs. The camera is just over 3 years old (as of Aug. 2001) , but don't let that stop you from choosing it over the vx2000 because the image quality is right on par with it. Some people think the image is a little "colder" than ...

A Pro Camcorder in Consumer Clothing I used to be a professional photographer, TV news videographer and news producer, so I was weaned on high quality broadcast quality TV pictures from expensive pro equipment. They are sharp, with excellent color and low noise. Consumer camcorders, even digital ones, left me cold. They just didn't cut it compared to the pro gear I had used. That is, until I saw the Sony TRV900.This baby is really a sleeper. The picture quality from this 3 chip camera is professional quality. The picture is very...

DV Prosumer delight I chose the DCR-TRV900 after extensive market research and have not been disappointed. Power supply isn't a problem anymore using the FP-950 battery as I can use it all day on photo/video shoots. The large LCD display is excellent for both recording and playback, even outdoors. However, it is sometimes inconvenient to have to open the LCD panel to access the Menu button. The picture colour and resolution quality is excellent, easily as good as some 'semi-pro' cameras in the 2-3 times price ...

SONY TRV900 WOW! Having a background in commercial television I did not believe that production on that level is possible at this price level. You will be amazed at the quality. I recommend the memory stick for still pictures and you will need the floppy adapter for the computer. Your stills will be outstanding. Couple all this with fire wire capture and a good editing program (Adobe 5.1c) and your finished product will be excellent. The money to step up to this is well spent.

Solid image - great to use I have been using it for six months now and am very pleased. The larger batteries can interfer with the view finder however, this is not an issue when using the flip out LCD display.Great image quality. The still image function works great with a PC Card.
