DCR-TRV240 vs. DCR-TRV140

Author's Rating:

Pros: Great picture. Easy to use. Loads of features. Backward compatible with Hi8 and 8mm recordings.

Bottom Line:
The TRV240 is a very good digital camcorder at a reasonable price. The TRV140 is also very good if you don't need backward compatibility. Read More
