None of the frame-grabs of the five current Sony
Mini-DV imaging types shows great variation in the
daylight frame-grabs, even though two of the
imaging types are 3-chip (and the TRV30 can be
corrected to resemble the VX2000 image - see:
www.David-Ruether-Photography.com/camcorder--comparison.htm),
but if you look carefully, there are contrast and
saturation differences (and color-balance in the
case of the PC100, and sharpness in the case of the
PC9 - and better image "smoothness" with motion
with the two 3-chippers [not visible in the
stills] - and differing low-light handling...).
I currently own both the PC100 and TRV30, and I like
the images from both (when motion with contrasty
edges don't spoil them, and there is enough light
to get a good image), and deciding which to sell
has been not easy...;-)
