More:

The TRV18 has been discontinued. Unlike the 3-CCD models,

1-CCD models have silly yearly "model-changes", to keep

"da pub-lic" interested...;-)

I think the TRV18 has been split into two models (more

"marketing"...;-), the TRV19 (with B&W finder - whew,

hain't seen wunna them onna Mini-DV camera since...?)

with no Memory Stick, and the TRV22, with (and probably

with the same image/sound as the TRV11, 17, and 18...;-).

(BTW, I have a TRV11 for sale, for $450 - see:

www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/fs.htm ...;-)
