Editorial note

The Sony DCR-TRV250 camcorder stands out for its notable features, including a 20x optical zoom and a 700x digital zoom, allowing for precise detail capture from a distance. Its built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp videos and photos, even in motion, which is essential for guaranteeing good recording quality. The high-quality LCD screen offers an immersive visual experience, making it easier to frame and view shots. However, several points can be improved. Weighing 800 g, this camcorder could become cumbersome during prolonged use, especially for those who prioritize lightweight options. Additionally, the optical sensor resolution of 460,000 pixels may seem insufficient against current standards, limiting high-definition image quality.

Ease of use is appreciated with a score of 75, largely due to its practical features. However, its design receives a score of 68, highlighting concerns regarding portability. Finally, the value for money is rated at 72, indicating that while it is decent, some users may be disappointed by the performance in very low light and the high-definition image quality.
