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: very easy to use, small and light Disadvantages: ?
, the GR-D70 offers a "cinema" mode which enables users to shoot pseudo-widescreen pictures which, when appropriately selected on a widescreen TV, will assume 16:9 characteristics. Alternatively, the 4:3 squeeze option will simply compress the picture horizontally in order that it unsqueezes as a widescreen TV image.
Performance:
The f1.6 lens is sufficient to produce pictures even in average interior low light conditions.
There is, as you'd expect from a 1/6th inch CCD, a certain amount of picture noise when the light level drops, but this camcorder copes very well, faring much better when compared alongside the Canon MV600i or MV650i in similar conditions.
The 2.5" LCD screen displays images with a noticeable red bias and the screen itself is fairly well visible in sunlight. Audio recording is only possible via the camcorders ...

Advantages: Good action sequences, interesting moral ideas. Disadvantages: Terrible (and I mean terrible) acting, disjointed.
When an alien race finds itself marooned on earth they are fortunate that a caring humanity give them refuge and their own land in South Africa known as District 9. Years on however, these prawn-like creatures are seen as a resource eating nuisance and live in slum conditions. The subject of abuse from a corrupt government and Nigerian gangs they are about to be relocated to the even worse District 10. Fortunately, they may well have found themselves an unwitting ally in government stooge Wilkus who finds himself exposed to a DNA altering gas. As he becomes more alien by the day will he become their Saviour?
I don't really get District 9. It seems to have gone down well with almost all film audiences and critics but I feel like I must be missing something. I think maybe a lot of it is because it has strong apartheid references ...
