The Sony DCR TRV-11 is a great consumer camcorder for the price. It is great for beginners to learn how to use the manual controls like exposure, white balence, etc. The TRV-11 is replaced by the TRV-17, they are both the same but the TRV-17 has the new HAD ccd wich makes it better in low light, an area wich the TRV-11 is poor. But you can't beat the buy out price of the TRV-11, I got mine for $600.00 at The Future Shop!
