Response to Looking for a DV camera

I just got into this discussion since I plan to buy a 3CCD DV myself. I found that TRV900 is slightly more sensitive to light [min 4lx] than GL1 [min 7lx] , which is to considere if a poor light source will play important role in your films. I like to shoot in the dark and I think this feature of TRV900 is very important. Also, the size definitely matters to me. Canon's model is a bit more robust and it doesn't allow you to keep it in the jacket whereas Sony fits inside Levi's just fine. I hate to cary DV in the bag or on my shoulder and be a tourist. TRV900 standard battery allows up to 8 hours of video taping whereas GL1 can make a modest 80 minutes. GL1 is definitely a great cam for the money [$1798.00 today], but I think that TRV900 is more functional one.
