4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Starter Model - DV-In an issue, 23 Feb 2004
By 
This review is from: Sony DCR-TRV14 Mini-DV Camcorder (Electronics)
No compliants for ease of use or quality. Agree that battery needs to be upgraded. Also agree that editing software is worse than poor.
Only problem is lack of DV-in, of course you should know this before you buy. Basically you are able to transfer video from the TRV-14 to a PC via USB or (if your PC has a port) i-Link (Firewire). The USB is v.slow, so Firewire is recommended. Once on your computer you can play around with the video and burn to disc if you are able but you will not be able to transfer back to the original tape as the TRV-14 does not support DV-In due to taxation of this feature.
If this is not an issue for you then this model is highly recommended, if it is then you need the next model up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking starter model, 26 Sep 2003
This review is from: Sony DCR-TRV14 Mini-DV Camcorder (Electronics)
This was my first venture into the world of camcorders and I don't think I could have picked a better starting place. It has a very simple layout which the beginner can easily master and start filming straight away. (Even the better half can use it!) Being a Sony product, it has a feel of quality to it and an extensive list of add-on extras allowing it to grow along with your skill and confidence. The touch screen facility is great and keeps the number of external buttons to a minimum. The menu system is easy to follow and packed with features to experiment with. An extra battery is required and I would recommend the starter pack (ACC-DVM) which gives you a case, battery and tape. This model does not have a memory stick slot for stills but you can record them on the tape. For the extra cost of a model with this facility it's probably better to spend the difference on a digital stills camera, which will give better results.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant camcorder at basement price, 12 Jan 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sony DCR-TRV14 Mini-DV Camcorder (Electronics)
With my daughter growing up fast i thought it was about time i invested in a camcorder after borrowing everybody else's,and i am not dissapointed with this little belter from sony. Fits into your hand perfect, excellent touch screen functions and so easy to use,hardly need to read the manual at all.
nightshot is far better than expected, standard battery is a bit weak only lasts about 100mins so i bought a higher spec battery and thats problem sorted. Far better spec and build quality than equivelent JVC or SAMSUNG(u get what u pay for).
If you don't want to shoot Hollywood blockbusters then this is the one to buy.
