Strengths: Digital, Mini DV, NTSC, 1 x CCD, Up to 1 Megapixels Still Shots, 10x Optical Zoom, 1.44 lb. , Battery life: Up to 1.58 Hours.Overall Evaluation: The DCR-TRV38 compact mini DV camcorder offers digital video and audio recording. The Digital technology delivers rich and accurate picture quality with up to 520 lines of resolution.
The DCR-TRV38 performs wonderfully in normal lighting conditions producing vivid colors. The camcorder does pretty well in low light conditions as well. The camcorder offers good control options with the manual focus ring, however I do wish that everything wasn't pushed back into the LCD. I like the DCR-TRV38 a lot and I think that it is the best buy in the under $1,500 Sony line right now, however the DCR-TRV38 is competing with the Canon Optura 20 a very solid model. The Optura 20 certainly offers better control options, but the DCR-TRV38's superior low light performance makes me choose it over the Optura 20.
Price Range: $528 - $639
