It's a one chip so there is no good reason to get it and not a newer one chip like a TRV20.
The battery will be a big issue and the newer ones have very long life batteries.
I guess the better question is why are you looking at it.
This is pre VX1000 so you never know how long it will last you if you get it.

This camera came out at the same time as the VX1000 and has many similar features. It only has one CCD, however, so the image quality won't be as good as a VX1000 or later 3-CCD model.

Check to make sure it has a Firewire interface. I think so, but I'm not sure. Also see my article in the Free Library section of this site on "Buying a Used Camcorder".
