Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $790.00 from Sony Centre

Summary:

My first wander into the digitial camera market and after a great deal of reading I choose the TRV25. On a gut feeling more than anything else, though its ability to take reasonable stills certainly helped. And I love it :)

Strengths:

Great built quality, wonderful picture thought not so hot at very low, indoor, light levels.

Weaknesses:

The zoom speed takes some getting use to, a little fast for my liking. Accessoraries(?) are not cheap either...

Similar Products Used:

None, first Camcorder.

Customer Service:

Never used
