[MacDV] Sony TRV-33 16:9?

[Jon Blumhagen]

If you're looking to do big audience projects I would think you would want
to go with a 3-chipper. But personally, for a one CCD, I have been very
happy with the ZR-60. The picture is good, even in unlit interiors, the
sound picks up better than expected, and the firewire interface has been
without error, and all for $300-something bucks, I think that makes it tough
to beat.
