JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder
also known as "reporter bag"
INTRO
With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with a 97p tag on it. I asked the assistant if it was indeed 97p and so it was... I imediately bought it. I later found out that the price of this bag usually varies between £10-£15, currently on amazon is around £13 so I can consider myself quite lucky and happy of the amazing deal.
OVERVIEW
So let's see some details, first of all the size: approximately 17 x 11 x 10cm. The material ...
Advantages: Everything in one package Disadvantages: The manual is useless.
/HDD at the same time. The only thing you cannot do is use DVD and HDD modes at the same time.
Another feature is the ability to set a guidance rating as such. Depending on how you set it the unit will either skip scenes or refuse to play at all. So for example you can set the rating to an equivalent of a PG rating and if your child attempts to watch a 15 or 18, they will not get very far. This is locked by a code which you can easily overide if you fancy something a little more risque or violent.
Something we have only briefly tried but quite unique is the ability for dubbing without connecting to external devices. This can be between HDD-DVD, DVD-VHS, and HDD-VHS. You can dub up to 32x the normal speed with the exception of VHS. PC Worlds' review commented on this but saying that it would be annoying as you couldn't do anything else whilst ...

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, zoom and other functions, good sound output Disadvantages: Non. If it recorded it would be the best ever..
With the surge in popularity of DVD recorders, it is very hard to notice the humble DVD player nowadays and it comes quite low on the list of 'must-haves'. However, if you are in the market for a good DVD player that is packed with features, the JVC XV-N55SL would be worthy of consideration.
We have had ours a couple of years now, but last year it got relegated to the dining room when we purchased our DVD recorder. It is hooked up to a portable TV we have in there but it does not really do justice to the JVC in all fairness. But that's the way things go. If we had room in our lounge under our TV on top of the DVD recorder it would still be there, because it is by far the better player of DVDs.
When we got the JVC home as a Christmas present to both of us (from both of us) a couple of Christmases ago, we were amazed how light ...
