1215.0. "Comments on Sony CCD-TRV62?" by NETCAD::B_MACARTHUR () Tue May 06 1997 10:22

    
        I'm very close to purchasing a Sony CCD-TRV62 Hi-8 Camcorder.
    Is there anyone out there in notes world that owns one of these
    beasts and can comment on it, either pro or con? I've also looked
    at the Hitachi VME-825LA, but am leaning towards the Sony. 
    
        Another question I have concerns the small LCD display's and
    how bright light affects them. Can anyone comment on this? Do I
    need to plan on buying some kind of shroud for it when I'm using
    it in bright light?
    
    Thanks for your help.....

1215.1Sony is betterDISCOS::SHAHThu May 08 1997 10:475
    I have TRV81 -- Hi-8. I like it very much. I have so far always used
    LCD panel(4") inside (theater hall etc) so I do not see any problem with
    display. 
    
    
1215.2Try the US version of Sony TR3300EGIDDAY::HONSCHIf in doubt blame MurphySun May 11 1997 21:598
    Bob,
    	I purchased a TR3300E (PAL) 9 months ago. I had looked at the LCD
    screen models but decided to invest the money in a better lense zoom
    capabilitie i.e. 21 X Optical and 84 Digital, with the Super Steady
    shot it works really well. Also the colour viewfinder is excellent. If
    you have the equivalent model in NTSC maybe have a look at that?.
