This is Sony's model "pecking order", but it
ignors the peculiarities of the models, and the
specific needs of particular users... If price,
picture smoothness, LCD screen size, desire to
avoid irrelevant features, etc. are paramount,
then the order would be different, and if you
add small size to the "importance" list, you
would add the PC9, PC101, PC115, and PC120 to
the list... And if you put picture quality at
the top of the importance list, you might
dismiss all of the above, and narrow the list
to the TRV900, TRV950, VX2000, and PD150 in
the Sony Mini-DV line-up...
