Home > Consumer Reviews > Sony DCRTRV320 Digital Camcorder

I found this camcorder perfect for a 12 yr old, but I do belive the memory stick and still photos are a bit much. It has some way cool picture effects (negative, mosiac) and some great features (nightshot, 450x zoom)

It has an increddibly compact size for a camera of its capabilities. I now use it to video parties, and school productions which i make alot of money out of.

However, I do think, that like the analog range, it needs a built in light, so you dont need to pay extra for it to attach to the IAS. (Intellegent Accsoeries Shoe).

Happy Buying!

The camera was a piece of junk. It stopped working right after I got it. It wouldn't even record because it tore up the tape immediatly with an annoying dinging sound. It ruined tape, cost me money, but did nothing. I would not buy from this outfit.

I've used VHS-C video camcorders in the past. But this camera just blows them away.

I know virtually nothing about taking video shots, but after a week with this camera, my footage rivals any TV show in quality!

You can't believe the quality of image this camcorder puts out.

Easy to use, and packed with features. I use this thing every day. Sound and image quality is unbelievable.

You can buy a longer battery life if you want too, which is incredible, 8 hours or so. (It's heavier, though, so I just bought an extra standard battery).

For the price, this is the best buy for the money....it takes excellent video footage...the only drawback is the battery life is short..need to purchase at least the 8 hour capacity (very expensive)...

This little number is a great step up from DCR-TRV310. I'm Not sure why, but the number is higher, and in my experience that means that it is way better and should cost alot more. I greatly recommend it with the 2.5in screen. Anything larger sucks the life out of a battery like, the KC Chiefs suck the fun out of Monday Night Football. You'll find the zoom is very suitable for most situations. The Info-Lithium batteries are a serious point in favor of the Sony brand family over its competitors. Knowing how much time you have left to shoot is priceless in those once-in-a-lifetime situations. In California, and sweeping quickly east, is the Phenomenon I dubbed "Green Porn". With Sony's 0-lux technology, you call literally see/film in pitch black. The ablitity to create a sensuous mood with the green glow that 0-Lux provides is amazing. It's like wathing The Nature Channel. Overall, if you don't have the money for the big time digitals and don't want junk. Then this is the Cam for you. Happy Honeymoon!
