Summary: Attention iMac users!
Review: FYI...this camcorder comes with an i.link SERIAL cable. If you want to transfer your images to your iMac, you're going to have to go out and get an additional cable: either the Sony MSAC US1 or the US5. The US5 is actually a mouse that accepts the memory stick; the US1 is just a cable. Or so I'm told. I'm going out looking for mine tomorrow.

Summary: Excellent DV Camera with no future?
Review: I bought my Sony DCR-TRV11e in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My intention was to learn and play with the gadget, and later on continue with editorial features on my computer. So far my learning and playing have been FUN!Next step was to utilize the digital features, including editorial tasks like removing bad shots and make a library out of live photoscenes on my computer. I bought a Pinnacle Studio DV according to recommendations. Unfortunately the program worked fine, camera was found via Firewire, but communication with the camera was not possible. Reason:? Camera found, but speed not adequate. Needed: 4000 pixels pr sec. Possible: 3.400 pixels pr. sec. My computer is a Fujitsu Siemens P4, 1.4 mhz with 512 Mb RAM running on MS Win 2000 and would hardly have a problem to accomodate the need for speed. Consequently I am stucked with a GOOD camera, but no more FUN! I have asked Sony for support, but they don't seem to waste time on customer feedback. Therefore the rating of a good camera is low.

Summary: Excellent Camcorder
Review: I bought the Sony DCR-TRV11 specifically for an African Safari, and am extremely pleased with the performance. I filmed through drenching rain, low-light conditions, over horribly bouncy roads, and the results are amazing. It is easy to learn to use the basic functions (I only had it for a week before departure, and didn't have much time to practice filming), and the quality makes even the most novice film-maker look good. Battery life is great (I took two with me and never ran out of power--even on days when the Safari Lodge generator failed and I couldn't recharge), and while the outside casing is a little worse for the wear, the camcorder performance is undiminished.

Summary: Don't buy this camera
Review: I had this camera for 2 years and had constant trouble with the door mechanism for the tape. It opens from the bottom and the tape pops up! Many times it got stuck and finally it would not open. $400.00 to fix it. SONY SERVICE IS TERRIBLE, we are now forced to buy another camera as it's not worth fixing for $400!

Summary: Excellent, but a bit pricey.
Review: I have never had my own camcorder before, so I spent days looking at all makes and models trying to learn as much as I could. I even read several reviews here and after having held each one, trying out the features and driving salesmen crazy I finally got the Sony DCR-TRV11. First, the display screen seems better. I looked at JVC and Panasonic and the Sony screen just looked better defined. Also, when panning, the autofocus reacted faster to my movements. My wife has small hands and this was one of the smallest ones out there so remember to consider size and weight. The resolution is very clean and the controls are all well placed. I didn't use the software that came with it, opting for Pinnacle's StudioDV. It comes with the Firewire card, software and cables. It's works great and is easy. The Sony has a few key features like a mic input, which is important. If you are getting better picture your going to want better sound. The built in mic works good, but if you zoom on something distant, you're going to want an external mic. The hotshoe takes intelligent accesories, like a zoom mic or a flash that syncs with the still pics. It takes both DV tapes with and without chips in them. Be sure to get the tapes with the chip in them. You need the chip to index your pictures. This is important when connecting to your PC. The included 4MB memory stick holds about 30 pics at 640x480 (60 at lower resolution) and allows you to mix stills with your video for some nice effects. In addition to the night shot feature, the stabilization is far superior than any others I tried. Some only worked until you zoomed, others said they had it, but I couldn't tell. All the Sony's seemed best here. The battery life was about 50 min using zoom and the flip out display. The display tells you how much time in minutes you have left to record. Much longer lasting batteries are available, but there is no memory effect so you can charge at any time. The camera is great for quality, feel and ease of use. I did have to download a driver to use the camera as a netcam and it would have been nice if it came with the Firewire cable in addition to the serial cable. We restled over the price and, while you can get a very good camcorder for less, we just couldn't pass up the Sony after holding it and comparing the features and quality. My wife and I are very happy with it and, if you can afford it, this ones the one to get.
