I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TRV-8

 

I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TRV-8

I've been using TRV-10 for about 6 months now. I had taken it to most of the places I visited. No doubt, it has real good clarity both in Audio and Vedio. Its sleek and handy size is impressive. Photo quality is not at all good as noted by other...

a camcorder will actually carry and use regularly

After having used full-size Vhs camcorder then Hi-8, it is a pleasure to carry and use this unit. I looked at all of the new breed of digital units and chose this one. It is easier to hold and use than the PC-1 or the Elura and it has a larger...

Good but not Great !

First the goodies...its light weight and the picture quality is excellent. The sound is good too! Due to its small size it is very easy to carry. The LCD is big ( 3.5" ) which is a big plus. The not so good features are: 1. The digital camera has a...
