Like a striped button-down oxford shirt, Sony's DCR-TRV22 MiniDV camcorder is basic, competent, and useful, with just a touch of pizzazz.
Another bottom-feeding cassette hatch hits the market.
The DCR-TRV22's built-in speaker is the only thing hidden behind the flip-out LCD.
The standard InfoLithium battery lasts about an hour, which is typical for this class of camcorder.
Overall, the Sony DCR-TRV22's video quality ranks slightly above average for the camera's price class.
