The TRV950, hands down!
See frame-grab comparisons at
http://www4.big.or.jp/~a_haru/index.html
(though the 952 is not listed, the MX2000/2500
/3000/5000 are - it must be one of those...),
and no Panasonic [except the DVX100] has the
picture quality of the 950, or, surprisingly,
the low-light range (which is not great on the
950 - but the range appears even less on all
the Panasonic 3-CCD models [except the DVX100]
than with any Sony 1-chipper...;-) There are
some great deals on the EZ50U/951 (no pop-up
flash, different body style) right now,
but.....;-)
