You can find these compared, with frame grabs in
three different lighting conditions (and with the
PC120 as the similar-imaging TRV30), at:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder--comparison.htm
BTW, I disagree with RM's conclusions since the CCDs
(and processing) are different on these two cameras
(the lenses are the same) - the images from the
two are noticeably different, with the PC100 being
a tad less sharp, but with the "plus" of therefore
having a bit less of the annoying digital artifacting
of the TRV30/PC120/PC115. BTW, the PC9/TRV17 is less
sharp yet, and with noticeably less artifacting,
but it is a bit "soft"-looking in comparison (a
good compromise for some, though...). Also BTW,
the low-use, thoroughly tested PC100 used in the
comparisons is available (I will keep the
softer/smoother PC9 and sharper/rougher TRV30
"on either side" of the PC100 - though for one
camera of these three types, the PC100 is a good
"in between" compromise...).
