OK, much as I blab about this, how can you
have missed: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder--comparison.htm,
On this site is a comparison (with frame-grabs and
descriptions of motion-video effects) of ALL the
Sony Mini-DV imaging types (that are still sorta
current - the older VX1000/DSR200 is missing, but
the ones for the VX2000/PD150/DSR250, TRV900/PD100a,
TRV30/PC115/PC120, TRV20/PC100/PC110, and
TRV17/TRV11/PC5/PC9 are there, all compared in the
same three different lighting conditions. For comparison
of some of these with models of other brands, see:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder-comparison.htm,
and: www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/sony_dcr-vx2000.htm.
Other comparison-site URLs are:
