OK, folks, much as I blab about this, how can you
***ALL*** have missed:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder--comparison.htm ?!?!
Huh? Tell me...! ;-)
On this site is a comparison (with frame-grabs and
descriptions of motion-video effects) of ALL the
Sony Mini-DV imaging types (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 given in the above, too.
So, how have you missed these??? ;-)
