Sony introduces its new Mini DV Handycam camcorder incorporating Carl Zeiss optics, USB streaming and the MPEG Movie EX feature - the DCR-TRV18. The camcorder will record for up to 12 hours or playback for up to 13 hours (with LCD screen off) on a single charge with the optional NP-QM91 battery. The Super NightShot function allows you to capture monochrome video even when shooting in total darkness (0 lux) using the built-in infrared system up to ten feet away. The Super NightShot mode automatically adjusts the shutter speed to increase picture brightness and clarity. With Color Slow Shutter, full-color video is recorded in dimly lit places, enabling users to capture video of sleeping babies and nocturnal animals in color. Sharing special moments with family and friends across the world is easy, with the incorporation of USB (Universal Serial Bus) Streaming into this Digital Handycam camcorder. USB Streaming allows users to stream live and recorded video to the Internet with their PCs using Microsoft Windows NetMeeting. This feature turns the camcorder into a webcam with a simple USB plug-in and Microsoft's free NetMeeting software. Now parents can either share baby's first steps live or stream a pre-recorded video of the event to loved ones who can't be there.

    Ah... this is a great camera for home use... kinda.. id opt for the TRV-25.. only 100.00 more. The picture quality isnt that great. Features are fun, and it can do anything you want. But in poorly lit conditions the picture isnt very good at all. 1/4... CCD? thats no good. not to say that the TRV-25s 1/4.7 CCD is much better... but the picture looks a lot cleaner. I got my TRV-18 for 560.00 new.. but I only use it for shots that risk the camera.. like driving a car over it, or hanging it over a building.. etc.. anything where the camera might be damaged.. its a great camera for that. Fun camera though... Read more Less

    Sony DCR-TRV18 Camcorder Review

    The DCR-TRV18 is a disappointing camcorder. The still performance is really bad, and the only premium on this camcorder is the manual control. However, you can get better still performance with those manual controls at the same with the Canon ZR models, Panasonic or JVC models. If you are looking for good still performance, the Sony DCR-TRV740 is a much more attractive camcorder. The DCR-TRV17 was a nice camcorder but Sony has fallen behind in my opinion on the DCR-TRV18 and I would recommend looking in other places. Read more
