Three CCDs ARE better than one!

Author's Rating:

Pros: Superb video quality, 3CCD sensors, 1MP stills, MPEG movies, Memorystick, iLink port, Bluetooth.

Cons: Larger size compared to PC series, awkward touch screen with stylus, optional Bluetooth adapter.

Bottom Line:
A terrific choice for consumers who insist on the best possible digital video quality for their home videos. The 3CCD megapixel sensors significantly improve the image clarity and color fidelity. Read More

Sony TRV 950E

Author's Rating:

Pros: Sony HAD CCD's, pretty comprehensive manual controls

Cons: Overpriced, omissions from previous generation TRV900E

Bottom Line:
Great Camera, not great value, until price drops look at Canon XM2 instead, panasonic MX350 loses ease of use but is 3/4 of price of the sony. Read More
