Best Sony camcorder for...

I'm going to be filming some older people sitting in their living
room, and need a high-quality camcorder for the final product. I'm
using Vegas software, so I want a Sony.

Why? Vegas was made by Sonic Foundry before Sony Digital Media bought
out the entire Sonic Foundy product line (Acid, SoundForge, CD
Architect, DVD Architect, etc.) There's no specific benefit to using a
Sony camera with it. If anything, the one thing I'd suggest is that
whatever camera you use, it's DV or MiniDV format and has Firewire
support, for full intergration with Vegas capture/edit controls.

I've heard that the old TRV-10 is a good camera.

Have no experience with that model, but the old VX-1000 is an excellent
MiniDV unit. If you want something newer, check out the VX-2000.

I've also had a lot of experience with the JVC GL-1 and XL-1 series
cameras; both product lines are excellent pro-sumer quality MiniDV cameras.
