Including the most important for some of us: the VX2000
can get good images in light levels FAR lower than the
TRV950 can shoot in... In good light, the TRV950 appears
to produce high-quality images with a very small package
size (that will be priced noticeably lower than the VX2000
after the "newness" wears off...), making it useful for
some types of high-quality shooting where small size is
more important than low-light range...
