???????!!!!
The TRV950 is BY FAR the smallest and lightest 3-CCD
camera, more akin to the tiny TRV17/18 than to anything
3-CCD that went before...! If this is "bulky or heavy",
where does all this miniaturization stop??? When we
wear the camcorder (with battery, accessory mic, and
WA attachment) stuck under a Band-Aid??? ;-) If the
TRV950 is too big and heavy for you, look at the
PC9 in Mini-DV (but the picture quality will be
nowhere near what it is with the TRV950...). If THAT
is too big and heavy, try one of the IP Sony mpeg2
camcorders... If even that is too bulky, try one of
the "private-eye" specials, that fit behind
keyholes (but they have no recording devices...;-).
