Not a good reason for not looking at any, and even at

the bottom end, these often have nicer images than the

competition, and there is no obvious motor noise with

any of the Sony models...

Basically, Sony divides its line up into three levels

of 1-CCD models (with different form-factors and different

features, but with the same image and similar sound

at each level), and two distinctly-different 3-CCD models.

Look at the tiny PC101 or the TRV25, 27, or 33 for the

best image/sound for the money (these all use the same

megapixel CCD and lens...).
