The main difference I've seen is the ergonomics. I have a TRV 240 I use 
mostly as a digital bridge and the power button is *right* next to the 
record button, and the photo button is right next to the zoom button. I 
can't count the times I've turned the thing off attempting to start a 
shot. The specifics vary a lot by model, but Sony in general seems to 
follow the aesthetic that more controls is better - make the device 
look as gnarly as possible.
