Marketing, I guess...;-)
The TRV730 I just bought has a rather crisp-looking
B&W eyepiece finder and a fold-out color panel
(kinda sounds like what is on the DVCam PD150 and
DSR250, though the resolutions are considerably
lower on the TRV730 - but they are adequate for
the purposes of focusing/framing with the eyepiece
finder, and roughly judging interior WB and framing
with the panel...).
