Excelent CAMERA, ex quality2007-03-02
Excelent CAMERA, Excelent sound and video quality. easy transfer to computer via firewire and from there to dvd. Low quality taking pictures.
good but...2006-12-21
we bought this product and i thought because it was from JVC it would be good well i was wrong when we recored it looks fine but when we play it back it's so dark and i know it's that camcorder because are t.v. is also new it's really disaponting i would never recommend this product to anyone PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY ON THIS ONE
Great for the price.2006-09-19
The DV is in a weird place, on the bottom, which makes inserting a new tape while the camcorder is on a tripod impossible.

Otherwise, this camera is great. Compact, easy to use, etc. The light on it is convienent; though it would be nice to have the option to turn it on remotely.

Zoom is smooth, and it works great as a webcam.
Nice Camcorder2006-08-13
I've had this camcorder now for 6 months. Here are some of the things I have found. First you know to purchase a firewire. The charger, I found a nice charger that you put the battery in the unit and plug the whole thing into the electrical socket. That is nice. I don't know if other camcorders have the same type lense cover, but this one stinks. It falls off alot. Whoever designed it should be immediately drug tested. Still shots are so-so. Don't expect them to be like a digital camera quality. I think it is good shooting in overcast or indoors. Of course since this is my first one, I have nothing to campare it to. But all in all I'm satisfied.
defective product2006-02-23
After reading reviews I bought this piece. It looked good initially and I liked the performance. Suddenly it stopped working. I cannot power on or do anything with it. I thought the battery wsa out and changed it but no use. May be this one is defective.

The types of camcorders
If you are planning on purchasing a camcorder, you should be familiar with the types of camcorders and how they can benefit your specific needs. The formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has its pros and cons VHS The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
