Strengths: Digital, Mini DV, NTSC, 3 x CCD, Up to 0.31 Megapixels Still Shots, 12x Optical Zoom, 1.94 lb. , Battery life: Up to 1.25 Hours.Weaknesses: No XLR mic inputs, key adustments via menus rather than physical dials, high price.
Overall Evaluation: The Sony DCR-TRV900 can handle up to eight hours recording. The 12X Optical Zoom lets you move in or pull back for wide shots, while the Precision 48X Digital Zoom uses a Hyper-Precision CCD to maintain superior image detail. There's an Optical Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization System, a Memory Mode for Still Image Capture and even picture effects to help you get the look you want. You'll never run out of ways to use this Sony.
Sony's DCR-TRV900 (Epinions has left out the "V" in the product ID) has quite a few similarities to the VX1000. Like the VX1000, the TRV900 has been on the market for a few years (since around the beginning of 1998) and is a three-chip camcorder. With its body mainly consisting of metal, magnesium-alloy, the TRV900 is also fairly sturdy, though it's not quite as tough as the VX1000. Unlike the VX1000, the TRV900 has never been replaced. Sony has updated the models in their MiniDV line below the TRV900, the TRV07 and TRV10, replacing these recently with the TRV11 and TRV20, but the TRV900 still stands at the top of the consumer-level product line.
Price Range: $1288 - $1299
