The good:Mini DVDs offer convenient playback; good night-shooting quality relatively compact.
The bad:Poor video quality; media expensive compared to MiniDV tapes; very basic feature set.
What's it for: Recording video.
Who's it for: DVD-recording fans.
Essential extras: Mini DVD-RW discs.
The bottom line: Unless you're so wedded to the Sony brand and the idea of DVD recording that you're willing to pay a premium--but not enough to jump to the DVD201--

The TRV14E is an excellent camcorder for the beginner, and certainly worth the extra money that you typically pay for the Sony brand.

Optical image stabilisation -Image stabilisation compensates for slight movements of the hand during shooting. Optical image stabilisation works by using gyros and prisms within the camera to compensate for camera motion. Generally considered superior to digital image stabilisation.
