These frame-grabs look normal to me for those from

low-end Mini-DV 1-CCD models... Unprocessed, this

is what minimal-pixel-count-for-the-format gets you.

The stills will be "unimpressive" from this level of

gear, but on a good TV, the video should look

pleasant and fairly good (in good light). Remember

that not only are computer displays different from

TV-display (and will look worse than TV for video),

but the display software is also not necessarily

showing the actual quality (resolution or frame-rate)

of the original stored on the computer. The test:

record some computer info back to a camcorder and

compare it with the original, played to a TV - you

should see no difference... For a comparison of the

unprocessed still tape images (frame-grabs) from

various model levels in the Sony line, go to:
