No need - I can tell you the appearance of saturation is poor...
You can use a good video equalizer to make a copy with the
TRV-9 of its tape (if you have another DV-tape player...).
If you do, you may be surprised to find that the problem is
more one of slightly excess blue, and too-low contrast,
rather than low saturation... (While you're at it, you can also
boost sharpness...;-) I find this camcorder more useful for
taking B&W infrared or normal-light video, or as an analogue-in
deck, than as a color shooter (though night color looks good,
and daytime color can be improved by using a polarizing filter).
I'd like to reprogram the color balance, contrast, saturation,
and sharpness, if I could (I like the custom controls on the
VX-1000! ;-).
