The DCR-TRV50’s image quality is very good, and the camcorder has a large, 3.5-inch LCD screen. Like the other camcorders we reviewed, it oversharpens images.

JVC’s DV camcorder has good image quality and a very small form factor. However, there are no jacks for an external microphone or for dubbing analog to DV.

Canon’s compact DV camcorder provides very good color tone, quality, and accuracy. Image stabilization is excellent, but the Optura 200MC does oversharpen images.

If you need both a video and a still camera and don’t have high still-image standards, the PV-VM202 offers great flexibility and a good value. If you want the best video quality and you can spend more, you’d be better served by a three-CCD camcorder.
