    Great camcorder for less then $1000

    By Kamal  Dec 26, 2002 | 3 out of 3 found this Sony DCR-TRV17 review helpful

    I bought the camcorder to tape the incoming of my niece into this world. Ever since, I have taken video of her growing up for the past 1-½ years, and also taken friends wedding as well as mine. I love the picture quality and the features of the came...ra. Since I edit my own video, the IEEE 1394 is a great feature for me as well as how it is controlled via Adobe Premiere 6. I will suggest any beginner to get one before they spend $2,500 or more. Read more Less

    Sony DCR-TRV17 Camcorder Review

    I am really impressed with the TRV-17. The picture quality is great, and it is packed with features. The memory card, the low light performance and the picture quality are all really great. I think it's a very good small size, and it doesn't weigh much. At such a low price, it's a great camcorder. Anyone looking to spend less than $1000 on a digital camcorder should look at the Sony DCR TRV-17. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a good camcorder at a low price without sacrificing quality. Read more
