Sony TRV 19??

[Austin 0]

I've been looking around on the web for TRV 18's and I guess that it's now discontinued and replaced by the TRV 19. Does anybody know anything about this newer model and how it looks for skydiving??? Thanks.

Although this looks like a descent camcorder for basic shooting, it lacks a lot of features. The resolution is fairly low, it lacks a memory stick, and it doesn't have a LANC port (which means no CamEye). Also, pretty much all of the features have been embedded into the menu-system, rather than seperate buttons on the camcorder itself, which means you'll have to open the LCD screen to adjust the settings. Nonetheless, if you plan on using it to just shoot some freinds in the air, it would probably work just fine. It looks like it will have a street price of about $500-$600. If you are looking for a higher-grade camcorder in the same price range, you might look around to see if you can find a new-in-box discontinued model (TRV30, TRV50) at a cheaper price. I know that Sears was recently selling the TRV30 for $799, which is a great deal, considering it costed about $2000 a year ago. Click below to read a review of the TRV19.
