These, and the representatives of the other three
Sony mini-DV imaging types are compared at:

They are quite different, and while I like the high
sharpness and very good color of the TRV30, the
"buzzy" look with motion bugs me (bare-tree shots,
for instance, look TERRIBLE!). The PC9 image is
noticeably less sharp, and the color isn't quite
as good, but the image looks better with motion
than it does with the TRV30 (and PC100).
