You can find a review (with frame-grabs and comments
on sound "color", noise level, and noise type)
of this and several other camcorders (XL-1, GL-1,
EZ30U, TRV-900, PC-1, VX-1000) on my web page,
under "I babble". The TRV-9 has unacceptably high
noise pickup in the built-in mics - external mics
are necessary with this camcorder for good sound.
More on other aspects is in the review...
